I read The Hours by Cunningham and thought, particularly after it won the Pulitzer, that he had perpetrated perfect crimes against Virginia Woolf and against literature, and swore never to read him again.
I may or may not be (by which I mean, I totally am) working on a novel that is partly set in New Jersey. The only problem is that it's an alternate C17th/18th New Jersey, and no matter how hard I try I just can't shoehorn Walt Whitman into that picture. I could theoretically work him into a C19th steampunk AU about which I have grand designs, but I wonder whether he might not work better in something more fantastical.
I thought Emily Blunt did an excellent job as Victoria, actually, though they didn't really do much to make her look like a teenager at hte beginning, so the sense of her transformation and growth, physically, is somewhat blunted.
Aren't the politics surrounding her birth so interesting? The movie gestures towards that but doesn't really explore it, which makes me quite sad because I have developed a minor obsession with Princess Charlotte.
