TBC: Does your expat POV help or hurt? Zoe Heller: Has made things v. difficult, linguistically; 'faucet' or 'tap', 'trunk' or 'boot?' #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

@EdanL Thanks so much for joining us tonight, Edan! #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

This was a story -- Karla and Khaled's -- that I just loved. Could've read many more chapters about them. #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

I know we still have some questions, but no one has mentioned Karla's paramour! #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

@booksquare Yep. Esp. when you knew they really tried. I think Audrey and Joel did, too, despite their myriad flaws. #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

@mincontro "Coma Joel." HAHA! #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

TBC: What are you reading? Zoe Heller: I am reading The Wrong Set, a collection of short stories by Angus Wilson. #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

@mincontro But had to be reason why his coma-ridden figure was there...death of old ways? Sacrificial "old goat?" #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

RT @EdanL: I thought adaptation of Notes on a Scandal sucked! Fine on its own, but adaptation was so serious! Lost all humor of book. #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

Hard to keep track tonight, but like thoughts re Rosa & community. Is that what Audrey sought when she took up w/Joel at start? #tbc

[Bethanne Patrick @bkpchats]

TBC: Did you like adaptation of "Notes on a Scandal?" Zoe Heller: I enjoyed it; by no means faithful, but actors fantastic. #tbc
