Maybe someday I'll bring it into the physical world! The book's vignette structure would really lend itself to puppetry, I think. It's quite the soap opera, exploring just about every frailty of human nature. Definitely not subject matter for the kiddies, but a fine adult show. BTW, folksinger Michael Smith wrote a lovely little piece about Spoon River: http://www.artistsofnote.com/michael/lyrics/spoon-river.shtml, and Claudia Schmidt recorded it: http://www.last.fm/music/Claudia+Schmidt/_/Spoon+River?autostart . Wouldn't that make a great soundtrack? Regards, Diane http://www.freshwaterpearlspuppetry.com/bubbleblog/ "You must remember this: a fish ain't just a fish. A fish is no dumb guy! For, every fishie goes to school: they're smart small fry." _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
