SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Warren Dunford , read by Mitchell Anderson. Fluid Words, four cassettes, 6.5 hours, $24.95 ISBN 0-9702152-1-5
Dunford's riotous and rollicking novel is infused with added wit and verve thanks to actor Mitchell Anderson's (Relax... It's Just Sex ; Party of Five ) virtuoso performance. Mining every comedic possibility from the smart dialogue and delightfully convoluted plot twists, Anderson plays all the characters in the book with lightning-fast agility. The novel unfolds as Mitchell Draper, a gay Toronto office temp and would-be screenwriter, sits at his typewriter chronicling his misadventures as they develop. The book's style adapts perfectly to the audio format. Mitchell's big break comes when Carmen Denver lumbers up his stairs (sounding like Mike Meyer's Linda Richmond/Cawfee Tawk character) and offers him a chance to script her top-secret blockbuster. When Mitchell's pals, coffeehouse manager/painter Ingrid and health food store clerk/actor Ramir, each experience a turn of good fortune, it looks like everyone will enjoy a happy ending. But that's when the complications start, and the laughter builds as Mitchell discovers that the Mafia Princess
–like potboiler he's writing to Carmen's specifications is not fiction. Another top production from fledgling Fluid Words. Simultaneous release with the Alyson paperback original (Forecasts, Sept. 18). (Feb.)
