There are few things more fun than casting your book!
Mallory, the girl
with synesthesia (a condition where you see words as colors), would be Elizabeth Moss (Peggy from “Mad Men”)
David, the infatuated
psychologist, would be James Franco
Rochelle, the
“Saint Francis in a leather jacket” would be Hillary Swank
River, the
schizophrenic kayaker, would be Natalie Portman
Stephen, the washed-up
(former) Christian rock singer would be Jake Gyllenhaal (true story: I once
briefly worked with his uncle. )
Liam, the creepy
blind dude, would be David Tennant (of Doctor Who. Look him up. He’s talented
and gorgeous. I’d watch him read the phone book for two hours. )
Wendy, the gospel
singer, would be Jennifer Hudson
Tad, NYPD wanna
be, would be Matthew McConaughey (because I think he’s a closet redneck)
Although I do not consider myself an overtly devotional
writer, there is a hymn that figures strongly throughout the entire piece
because of its lyrics about seeking redemption. It’s “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” I
prefer the upbeat, acoustic, version by Jadon Lavik found here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDYKZnf-eYY&feature=related
