'The Lover'

I believe this is the first time I've sample the work of one person in two different media.

Marguerite Duras not only wrote the apparently autobiographical "The Lover" and she also wrote the film "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," a French film already reviewed on this very blog.

This has to be relatively rare for the 1,001 lists. It's not like Jimmy Buffett's albums and books are on the list. John Lennon wrote some books, but they're not included. Not many screenwriters get the chance to necessarily write books or sing in bands.
