Here's a bit that didn't make it into Whit Stillman's (writer/director, Last Days of Disco, Metropolitan, Barcelona) interview with Melissa Bank (Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing, The Wonder Spot) in the New York Post:
Whit Stillman: Have there been any bad reviews?
Melissa Bank: Sure. There was a bad review in the New York Times Book Review for the last book. It was terrible. [She names the culprit in a funny voice:] "Courtney Weaver." Another person who wrote something shitty about me is Francine Prose.
WS: Is that an assumed name?
MB: No. She's kind of a big literary deal. She writes a lot. It was an article in the New York Times magazine on women's culture and how horrible it is - I was in with Oprah and Helen Fielding. She called the book "a tricked up Harlequin romance" and talked about how unimaginative my use of language was. When I read her article I thought it was so bad. It just seemed like terrible writing to me.
WS: Was it after your book was already a big success?
MB: Yeah.
WS: Good.
