Like that Ashberry quote 45:25 'The Ice Storm'

'Up In The Air' 38:09 Interesting to hear the birth of this great novel, and now a great movie. (Congratulations to Sheldon Turner and Jason Reitman on winning the BAFTA on Sunday for Best Adapted Screenplay. Good luck at the Oscars. Deserves to win. Superb adaptation.) I hope Walter Kirn now moves to the A-List of American novelists, to be in the company of Roth, DeLillo, and Robert Stone.
