Please pass this to Mr. O’Nan — I loved Last Night at the Lobster and have been sending it around to members of my family – (we’re all big readers, and my dad – a retired eye doc in VT – is writing his first novel) —
Has Lobster been considered for a movie? It would be a great one – and John C. Reilly IS your Manny —
Thanks — looking forward to your next book —
Best,

I loved “Lobster” and was really disappointed when it ended. I read it on my Kindle and wasn’t prepared for it to be finished so soon. I agree that it would make a great little film. I was pleased that the author used a real restaurant as the setting. One small quibble, I would have liked to have read a few actual descriptions of food preparation. The dishes just seemed to appear at the end of the line.
I am a film student at UCLA and I have been trying relentlessly to find contact information for Mr. O’Nan. His ostensibly small but enormously powerful narrative touched me in such a profound and inexpressible way that I need to convey its affect on me to him. It would also make a wonderful piece of cinema and my dream is to be the one to usher it onto screen. Hopefully. Mr. O’Nan, if you’re out there, please know that I respect your vision immensely and would be honored to translate its quiet poignance and muted beauty of humanity onto screen.
