Had the brilliant idea that one of Ryan Coogler’s future films should be an adaptation of Ondaatje’s Coming Through Slaughter. Michael B Jordan would make a perfect Buddy Bolden. (Yes, a film about Bolden was made once already but has pretty much been forgotten.)

I last had a cat before HomePods were invented. Why wasn’t I informed that kittens enjoy stepping on — and activating — HomePods. It’s adorable.
To start the afternoon, 6-month-old Ripley has selected The English Patient (1996) by Gabriel Yared. One of my favourite films and film scores. #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley #MichaelOndaatje https://music.apple.com/ca/album/the-english-patient-original-soundtrack-recording/1569203729

#MichaelOndaatje is a FABULOUS writer and The English Patient is one of his only books that I haven't read, possibly because I watched the wonderful movie.

@cardamomaddict That's really interesting that new books need to keep competing against older books. I really enjoy #Waub at the old place. Hope he migrates at some point. #MichaelOndaatje has done exceptionally well with Canadian awards, considering how unusual his writing style is.
