Caitlin, Katie, and Kate, you might be excited about this (assuming, Kate, that you’ve finally read The History of Love.)  John Brit, I don’t know if you’ve read this book yet or not, but you should.  Either way, you’ll be excited about the bit I put in bold.  From New York Magazine Book Review:

“Krauss’s novel is emotionally wrenching yet intellectually rigorous, idea-driven but with indelible characters and true suspense. It draws a career arc that may very soon surpass her husband’s, in book clubs (it’s a Today Show pick) as well as Hollywood. (Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated comes out this fall, and Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón—of Y Tu Mamá También [And Children of Men]—is already laboring on The History of Love.)”

I’m stoked.  Alfonso Cuaron is one of three new Spanish directors who I like very much.  The other two are Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel) and Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth.)  I don’t know about Guillermo yet though.  I hear PL is good, and it one a bunch of Oscars.  But this guy also did Hellboy…
