Please provide some insight into or a secret or two about your story. I think that working in the Preservation Dept of the campus library system had bled into my subconscious and that is where the magick system that rules The Bookminder developed. But as this one nugget of an idea would not let me be, I started to form a story around it – Why were these people doing what they were doing? Who were they? Now, it must be noted that I was not writing at that time, nor did I intend to write in any professional capacity. Said dream basically detailed out one scene from the story, something so different and captivating for me that it stuck. In 2004 I had a very vivid dream that, afterward, wouldn't leave me alone. How did you come up with the concept of your story? If you are interested in The Bookminder, be sure to checkout the description, enter the giveaway below and follow the blog tour! Many thanks to Xchyler PublishingĪnd M.K. I am happy to participate in The Bookminder blog tour by M.K.

Pacino weaves in bits of Wilde's tempestuous private life and how it relates to the themes of the play. While the film can seem a bit disjointed, it's actually a circular route that ends at the most dramatic parts of the play. In form, it's like, "Looking for Richard," his 1996 exploration of Shakespeare's "Richard III." What follows is a dissection of Wilde's "Salome" that cuts between a stage performance, the filming of that stage performance, filming in the desert to catch the feeling of Biblical life, and a documentary about Pacino's own exploration. That set him upon a journey to learn more about Wilde and the play itself. He was riveted by the writing and wanted to meet the author - before he realized that it had been written by Oscar Wilde. He described the passion he felt when he first saw a staged version of "Salome," in London years ago.
