Dear M.,
I’ve been working on a novel for a few years. It is very much about this:
It’s an embarrassing thing, to admit the attempt of a novel. But that’s not the point. I wanted you to see this film because it is really lovely. And it’s a surprise window into what I’m writing about, something that is finding the pockets I have been feeling for. Something that is keeping my fingers crossed.
Yours,
CF

Just swell. Thanks for sharing.
When you’re ready fir readers I hope I’m first on the list!
Absolutely! Thanks!
Wow. CF. One small reaction: the sequence of poses struck me as strange, and I wondered why. I think it’s because each swimmer had all the affect and performative energy it takes to strike a pose, with very little of the self-conscious artifice a camera invites.
I can’t believe how much it all shares a world with your project. It’s a splendid island.
