What does that even mean, a ‘real novel’? I can’t help but wonder that if a man had written this book instead of a movie star best known for a space opera it would have been described as ‘provocative’ and ‘ground-breaking.’ That’s because it is both.
I couldn’t find anything definitive, but I did come across this line in a review of the film from The Washington Post : ‘Fisher’s novel isn’t strong on story it’s more a collection of comic fragments - oddball dispatches from the movie wars - than a real novel.’ That someone could say that this isn’t a ‘real novel’ shocked me. I was curious to know why the film adaptation of ‘Postcards From the Edge’ deviates so much from the book, so I did a quick search of the internet this morning.
