David Cronenberg is writing a novel!

Canadian director David Cronenberg is swapping his camera for a pen.
The moviemaker, who was attending the Rome Film Festival on Thursday, said he has written 60 pages of a novel, but besides ruling out that it would be a horror or science fiction, offered few details on the project.
I love Cronenberg’s work and can’t wait to read this. Actually, I find it interesting that Cronenberg has waited this long to do this. His two major, avowed influences have been Nabokov and Philip K. Dick (No wonder I love his cinema.) and has said he’s been more influenced by them and other novelists than any filmmaker.
