They are making a movie adaption from this wonderful book, I read it a few years ago and was blown away by the writers amazing imaginationz. I recommend reading the book. It was a debut novel as well I believe. :D

The last of the Great european writers. "Der Kontrabaß" is also a wonderful book. In fact, all his books are wonderful.

aw man, no - the unique lure of that book was that it managed to describe an environment wholly in terms of the richness and depth of smell - the Perfume of the title.
i can't imagine the subtlety of that acheievement coming through on celluloid.

yeah. what Nairn said. that book works phsycologically in you through smell references (that is why is such a great book). I don't imagine how that can be filmed.
images are powerful, but an image is not worth a thousand words ;)

Actually, that last attempt wasn't 'quite right' as well.
Hmm.

*slaps Crouwel.
No, no - that's still not quite right - just sit tight..
* repeatedly slaps Crouwel
