Hi Angus,
I just wanted to let you know that I thought what you are saying is really
interesting. I watched the End of The Affair--it was good.
I wanted to ask you when reading your email what came to mind was movies I've
seen based on Henry James novels like Wings of the Dove-- does this capture
the GTof Love and Is General Theory of Love a book?
