"Dear Miss Landau" - Book review

(Spoilers)

I recently finished the audiobook "Dear Miss Landau" by James Christie. It is a true story about an autistic man obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who writes a 250,000 word fanfiction based on the character Drusilla. He and the actress (Juliet Landau) begin emailing, and James decides to take a trip across America (supported by the National Autistic Society) where he will eventually meet her.

The author writes about his experience as if he is writing a diary, speaking articulately and with humour throughout. Despite his intelligence, he struggles in day-to-day life and appears lost in the neurotypical world.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the writing style and the delivery of the audiobook (read out by the author himself). I don't know anything about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but despite it being a big aspect to the plot, I still thought the book was brilliant. And, as an autistic man with very similar traits to the narrator, I thought his descriptions of his autism and experiences related to it were well-written and could help neurotypical people understand the condition more.

I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you are looking to read about autism (especially "high-functioning" or Asperger's).

Ariadne Oliver and Hercule Poirot, detective duo

Mrs Oliver is detective novelist and Poirot's friend. She accompanies Poirot on several of his most famous cases, providing her own unique perspective on each of the crimes they encounter. She is feisty, quick to jump to conclusions (sometimes right, sometimes wrong), and strongly believes that Scotland Yard would be better run by a woman. Ariadne Oliver is, in many ways, a vehicle for Agatha Christie's own voice, particularly in relation to writing and the public. In a 1956 interview with John Bull magazine, Agatha Christie dismissed the idea that any of her characters are truly derived from real life, although she did admit that Mrs Oliver has "a strong dash" of herself. Christie always took a somewhat tongue in cheek approach to her supposed fictional alter ego, who she credited with writing a novel called The Body in the Library, a title she would use herself in 1942.

Over the last half a year, I have read quite a few Agatha Christie novels. Hercule Poirot is such a fun character, and I enjoy her short stories the most. But some of them show their era in an uncomfortable light, and it pulls me out of the narrative. It's not her fault in a sense. "Things were different then," and all that. But it leaves me uneasy nonetheless.

4 & 6 for the ask game? for both

6 answered here

4. They're tasked with decorating a cake. How does it look?

Ariel wanted the cake to be green but he messed up with the food coloring and now it's mud color. But that's fine... he can work with this. He puts a godawful amount of decorative icing on top trying to make it look maybe like a rose bush. It melts. At least the cake is good beneath all that.

Laila wasn't going to use colored icing but the red spoke to her in her dreams and now the cake is just bright red. Her hands are covered in dye, but she doesn't mind. She opts for a simple trim of icing around the bottom and top in the same color. Simple, elegant, can't screw it up.

Even though Diva panned the Dear Evan Hansen movie, I can't help but feel grateful to her for introducing me to such a wonderful new fandom.
