But I think that's because so many people (and the book jacket itself) make it seem like it's about this gay couple with the political drama as the backdrop but feels more the other way around. They barely even spend any time together.<br /><br />And yeah, Bailey is very talented but too old for the role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-18829368422435260662022-07-12T11:55:10.003-04:002022-07-12T11:55:10.003-04:00I recommend the book.

It is beautifully written and covers some interesting and important history. <br />Except for a framing tale set in the 90s, the whole book takes place in the 50s. All the stuff in subsequent decades is made up for the series.<br /><br />The opera is ravishing.verbocityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174630103646260780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-17431264361406815032022-07-12T10:03:52.957-04:002022-07-12T10:03:52.957-04:00The book is great, a fitting tale of disillusionme...The book is great, a fitting tale of disillusionment for the lavender scare/McCarthy years. Like Ax said above, though, the younger character is supposed to be VERY green. And Matt, though 10 years older than Jonathan, doesn't look it. It makes me wonder how they will handle the characters' age difference. Still, glad to see it getting this treatment with talented people attached.Carlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-29341924321926095592022-07-11T16:40:40.531-04:002022-07-11T16:40:40.531-04:00I saw the opera a few years ago and it's a bea...I saw the opera a few years ago and it's a beautiful show.Piercenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-47404119907920312632022-07-11T14:07:47.268-04:002022-07-11T14:07:47.268-04:00I read the book after Bomer was announced, it'...I read the book after Bomer was announced, it's gonna make a good limited series. I love Jonathan, but Tim is supposed to be a naive tortured Catholic just out of college Twink, and Jonathan feels too knowledgeable.<br /><br />Also, there's an opera I didn't know about until a local film/theater critic pointed it out.<br /><br />https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXBxqtlAtQykHkjLCsxyBRXnlUl6alEPwAxFromMNnoreply@blogger.com
