ONBC begins its discussion of J. P. Donleavy's THE GINGER MAN today!

Everyone who loves a good (and racy) book is invited to join Oprah Noodlemantra’s Book Club for their discussion of J. P. Donleavy’s classic THE GINGER MAN. Liz and DeppintheHeartofTexas will be leading a lively dialogue at ONBC throughout the month of April. THE GINGER MAN is on ONBC’s schedule because Johnny Depp is scheduled to play the leading role of Sebastian Dangerfield in a film version to be directed by Laurence Dunmore, who previously directed Johnny in THE LIBERTINE. Although THE GINGER MAN was first published 50 years ago, author Donleavy refused all offers to make it into a film . . . until the prospect of Johnny Depp as Sebastian Dangerfield persuaded him the time was right. Mr. Donleavy told reporters that Johnny was “one of the greatest actors of all time, like Gielgud or Olivier. In that class or better.” Stop by ONBC during April for a discussion certain to be, like THE GINGER MAN, provocative and hilarious.
