Ms. Quirke got a rather good notice in the Sunday Times of London:
"Quirke is a young film critic of eccentric brilliance — she lives and breathes film, and she cannot stop living her life through a viewfinder, as if she could see it printed on celluloid. She makes ridiculous decisions, inspired by things she has seen in films. This beautifully written, shamelessly honest and deeply comical account is about Quirke’s two parallel lives. Her first life takes place in the “real” world, in which she comports herself like Bridget Jones on acid. The second, hidden life is more vivid, more passionate and ultimately more fulfilling. In this existence, played out on flickering screens, Quirke experiences ecstasy, adoration and profound psychic relief. She feels that through films she has experienced her deepest understanding of human happiness — gleams from a brighter world, too soon eclipsed by the grubby concerns of everyday life."
The Overlook Press will put CHOKING ON MARLON BRANDO out this summer! Stay tuned.
