Missed this: About a month back AMC announced that it’s planning to turn David Glen Gold‘s excellent 2001 novel, Carter Beats the Devil, into a series. (A film version reportedly involving Tom Cruise didn’t work out, apparently.) A trip to Gold’s blog sheds no further light on the matter, but it’s excellent reading for fans of dog photos, aficionados of (I think) random numbers, and folks who’d like to spy on a writer’s spumes of frustration about writing.
