Another lovely newsletter! Thank you for all the work you put in it. In March I've been taking a couple classes as part of my MA in English Literature. Gothic Literature and Writing Poetry. I don't think I've ever read Henry James....but I am sure that will be remedied soon with the program I'm in. I hope you have a wonderful April.

The Turn of The Screw remains the only title I've read by James so far. And it was a very long time ago. I love its gothic elements and the way different people understand the plot. As to Inarritu, I haven't seen any of his films. Not even Birdman, which has been on my watchlist on Amazon Prime for a while. I don't have problems with 'artsy' films, but some of them turn out to be quite depressing and I must be 'in the right mood' when I see them, otherwise I feel really down (as I myself deal with depression). I've recently seen Tchaikovsky's Wife, a Russian film on the relationship between Tchaikovsky and his wife, and that was hard to watch. Stories about women, real women, going mad always are, I suppose. It was a good flm, but very much depressing.
