Christine Falls is an exception to this general mistiness. But in the early years of the new century, Christine Falls, like Christine Falls herself, languished, and I set it aside. All the same, might not my readers think that with Christine Falls the novel I was indulging in a postmodernist joke at their expense? I doubt there is a single line of dialogue in the script of Christine Falls that did not have to be reshaped for Christine Falls the novel. From the start I regarded the novelisation of Christine Falls as not much more than a jeu d’esprit, a one-off little adventure.
