Dear Mr. Borgers,
Of course I've enjoyed myself.
It struck me like lightening, while I was sitting here
at my mansion on the Cote d' Azur,
(Near John Grisham's place, I can almost see the gun towers
at Tom Clancy's manse. I was able to buy the former Rothchild
mansion Villa Ephrussi on the royalties from just one of my
novels.)that "Anne of Green Gables" is perhaps THE
masterpiece of Noir Fiction. How could we all have missed
this for so long? I urge everyone on the list to study the
novel and get back to me please. M. Perhaps you can take a
copy to Tijuana with you? This should start immediate
friendships at the "Midnight Rodeo" as most people working
there will have read the novel and can help tease out the
hidden meaning.
It so obvious Anne's sexual identity, at the beginning
of the story, is key. Was she really a boy! Oh, if only Jim
Thompson could be here to see the fantastic conceit of this
author, to pretend this was, well, just a warm-hearted story
for children! Hah! Never was there anything so chiaroscuro,
so bleak as that "sweet" seeming idyll. (What do all the cows
really mean?)
I've got a call into several producer friends to pitch
this new "take" on "Anne of Green Gables".
Rara, please feel free to cast this as I get to work
on the screenplay. I am already nervous about who should play
Anne. Jolie "springs" to mind!
Mr. Lau are you out there? A seasoned hand may be
required here. I've got to run my assistant, Ms. Black, says
I've got several call backs already.

I would like to join my thanks to those already expressed
here, for your patience and kindness in answering all our
questions on this list.
Its also good to know that you will still have an eye on the
Avians; knowing youre still with us is certainly an increased
richness for this list.
And, do not be afraid: Noir dissertations and confrontations
are not the essence of the list. We can do the same for cats
(as youve seen), hard-boiled, and pre-casting of certain
films& But you already know all about us now.
Many thanks again.
