Another story that is funny, if not in that haha way. . .
The fact that he keeps an emergency supply in the freezer really gets me. This reminds me of Lionel Essrog in Jonathan Lethem’s brilliant novel Motherless Brooklyn. At a point very early in the novel, Lionel compulsively eats fast food burgers to sate his tourette’s syndrome. Did I mention that Lionel also narrates the novel, verbal tics and all? Yeah, it’s a must-read.
The movie is “in production” with Edward Norton attached as writer, director, and star. It sounds like a pet project, but here’s hoping it’s one that comes to fruition and meets its full potential. Norton should be perfect as Lionel!
