I often watch movies on video in pieces, an hour
here, an hour the next day or the next. Onetime i
had been watching one of the "Thin Man" movies,
but by mistake i put in a different one the next time,
& was mildly confused by how the mystery finally
wound up...but i hadn't been watching it for the
plot anyway. An idea for a novel: midway through
it, finish with the second half of a different
novel--sharing the same character names, but
nothing else. This, i believe, would be truer to
life than the illusion of transparency given by
an omniscient author with a point to make.
