I subscribe to Mubi, A movie streaming service with a new film every day to watch so when Last Monday a film from Orson welles The immortal story , a french production for tv he made in the late 1960’s. I had to watch it firstly I hadn’t seen it before but also in looking up about the production for the film Welles was a fan of the writer of the story Karen Blixen (AKA Isak Dinesen). He had planned to do a number of short stories by her but end up making just this one. So when this weekend my great luck at seee or finding a book I have just discovered struck again when I found the collection containing the Immortal story .I had to laugh another lucky find.
Have you read Blixen/Dinesen ?
Nice find – very lucky! I have at least one of her books on the shelves, but I haven’t read it yet.
I read out of africa years ago , nut nothing since.
We just finished Babette’s Feast at the Nutshell_Cubbyhole group. I knew about the movie, but didn’t know that Blixen had written it. I’ve had Out of Africa for ages, but haven’t read it. I have read her letters though. Extremely interesting for the most part.
I’ve reviewed one of hers at mine (https://pechorinsjournal.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/the-necklace-the-pearls-guy-de-maupassant-isak-dinesen/). It was good, but not so much so that I’ve rushed out to read lots more by her. It seems you had the same reaction with Out of Africa.
Yes just saw wellestablished and thought give her another ho
