Paul Auster was interviewed by Eleanor Wachtel on CBC Radio
One's "Writers and Company" today. He said director Wim
Wenders asked him to write a movie based on the Flitcraft
episode in THE MALTESE FALCON. (Wachtel had him explain
it--the story of the man who was almost killed by a falling
beam--for the audience.) The movie didn't get made, but he
used what he had as part of his new book ORACLE MOON, where a
character named Bowen (or something like that) is almost
killed by some granite falling off a building.
The show will be available here for a week if you want to
listen to the whole interview:

THE FLITCRAFT EPISODE. It'd make a good short movie or
half-hour TV show.
