PODCAST WITH NAPOLEON ON THE FLIPSIDE
FROM BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE BOOK THREE
(Chapter Ten, Part two)
“ABLE WAS I ERE I SAW ELBA”
NAPOLEON STANLEY KUBRICK
Another day, another trip to the fieldhouse on the flipside. In this session, I decided to see if I could call upon a historical person, someone I knew that I had no possible connection to. The questions I asked him were related to questions posed to me by an Oscar award winning screenwriter. My questions are in italics, Jennifer Shaffer’s replies are in bold.
Rich: I talked to somebody yesterday who we interviewed in your office. My old boss, the screenwriter Robert Towne; friend of Luana’s.
Jennifer: He came to mind.
I told him what we were doing and I said if you could talk to anyone on the flipside who would you like to talk to?
His dad just came through but I know that’s not who he wanted to talk to.
I told him “You can talk to anybody.” I’ll tell you this, it’s a historical figure.
