0 babelonium: Mystic River

1/10/2005

Mystic River

Complex little book. Now I need to see the movie. I know Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, and Sean Penn are in it - I had fun trying to figure out who played who. I won't know till I see the movie I guess. Actually I don't *want* to know until I see it.

It reminded me in a way of Richard Price's Freedomland. Very gritty and real. And no pat ending.

I read this courtesy of Nick Hornby - I think I would like to take on the role of the person in his life who reads these sorts of books and then tells him about them. According to Polysyllabic Spree, the position is open.

I'll happily lend you Mystic River, swing by and get it whenever. It's good.
