I just finished (more like devoured) Curtis Sittenfeld’s recent novel American Wife, loosely based on the life of Laura Bush. Loved the book, especially the ending and can’t help but think what a great movie it will be.
I’d rather see a fictionalized version of Laura Bush than the one being paraded around town now on the Bush presidency legacy press tour. We’ve barely heard from Laura Bush for eight years and now she’s out defending her husband’s administration. Nobody’s buy it.
Update: Plum Pictures has purchased the rights to the book.
