Title: Pink A Novel
Review: I've watched most of Gus Van Sant's films so I wanted to read his book. I enjoyed it but I felt it was very cryptic. It seemed as if Van Sant confused reality with fiction and it was hard to tell where one left off and the other began. At first I thought it was a tribute to River, a way for Gus to deal with the young man's death and I guess it was but the more I read the more I felt like it was a love letter to Swifty(Keanu). Naturally I was surprized because I had never consider that the two might be lovers. Perhaps it was just Gus expressing his feelings about a time in his life...making a record of it. I'm really curious about the story of Cowboy Nemo, a movie produced by two of the main characters in the book. Many of the chatacters seem to be real people in Gus's life, trying to identify them was fun. I must say I'm sure most of the book is beyound my understanding but when Gus said he f--ked Swifty, that I understood.
Is the review positive or negative?
