In our first installment of "Visit an Editor" we stop into Juliet's office to discuss Antonia Quirke's forthcoming Overlook summer title Choking on Marlon Brando. Published as Madame Depardieu and the Beautiful Strangers across the Pond, this scintillating memoir captures Antonia's search for love as she's drawn to the larger-than-life celluloid beefcakes of the silver screen. Can any available man measure up to Marlon Brando? Her trials and tribulations on the dating scene get compounded by the career arcs of her favorite actors. What do movies teach us about love? According to Antonia, *everything.*
PS: Juliet's office is way cleaner than mine.

Justin, it's your long lost friend Jeanne Dodds......
so great to see you in video form. Best wishes for the success of your book, and I'd love to catch up with you if you happen to pass through Seattle on your book tour.
I hear Justin looks great in tights!
When will that good looking man hit the road for a book tour? Any plans for a cameo in the sure to be upcoming movie. Loin cloth anyone?
Indeed I do look good in tights. Like Batman, but with a happier smile. As for a loin-cloth. Well, I hesitate even to contemplate.
Jeanne - thanks for leaving a message. I would be thrilled to visit with you. Truly. Karen has my email address.
By the way, the book is now in galleys. Wait 'til you see the cover Overlook has designed!
