Book Character Demands Nicole Kidman, World Sighs
In Aurora, IL, Liz Jackson had an existential crisis upon reading that the main character of her novel candidly hopes to be played by Nicole Kidman in any potential miniseries. As Liz confessed, 'I canât believe what came over me back there,' perfectly capturing every reader's disbelief when fiction gets as self-obsessed as a Hollywood audition. The Onion delivers another gem, reminding us that even book characters have vanity issues bigger than their plotlines.
