Book #8: Bunny Bunny: Gilda Radner : A Sort of Love Story by Alan Zweibel. Erica suggested that I read this, one of her favorite books ("maybe just because I love conversations," she said). Zweibel was a writer on the first season of Saturday Night Live, where he met Gilda Radner. This book is a re-creation of conversations the two had over the course of their friendship, from early flirtation, to becoming great friends, and eventually to her death from ovarian cancer.
It's a tiny thing, but it drove me a little crazy that there was no typographical difference between the two voices, especially since a lot of the conversations are like:
-- Hey.
-- What?
-- Hey.
-- What?
-- You know.
-- Alright.
and sometimes I had to go back a half a page and count lines to figure out who had said what.
