I missed the story in the times, so am pleased to read in your posts that the Jekyl and Hyde project is still moving ahead. From what I read in the Aberdeen magazine the script was being co-written by Ruiz and Gilbert Adair, a Scottish writer I greatly respect for translating Perec's A Void without using 'e's). Jekyl and Hyde is a fantastic novel and repays retelling... and from your summary, lepeep, I'm increasingly interested in this one. Malcovitch on Aberdeen streets would be a good thing
