As there isn't a German release date for the film Me and Orson Welles yet, I caved and bought the book by Robert Kaplow. Which is an amusing coming of age story, captures the spirit of the era very well, manages to bring a theatre production to life for the reader... and yet had me grumbling about something major. Either I developed double standards for historical fiction that is close enough to present day so that there are still some participants alife, or fanfiction has influenced my reading habits. Or both. I mean, I didn't use to object on the basis of "he took out a canon character and replaced him with his Gary Stu and totally rewrote the relationship!", did I?
