Comfort reading

[brainwane]

I am rereading a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine branded novel, A Stitch in Time, which is basically Garak's memoir about his entire life. It is written by Andrew Robinson, the actor who played Garak, and in it he is clearly bisexual (which is also how Robinson, in the DS9 documentary that came out 1-2 years ago, said he played Garak (even though it was never explicit in the dialogue)). And I just find it so charming and cool that Robinson got so great at being inside Garak's head that he was able to write this entire backstory novel.

Oh wow! I had no idea. My wife knew Robinson when she was growing up (a neighbor) and is a Star Trek fan; she might enjoy reading that one!

Wow!!!! Was he a good neighbor? Did he garden? I would love to know more. I think she would at least enjoy reading an excerpt! And I like the novel.

Everything she's ever said about him has been positive -- he and his wife were family friends, I gather. She's never said much more about him, but she was delighted to hear about the book. :)

I meant to reply to tell you how wonderful this is and to follow up - has she tried reading the book? :-)
