Thanks Harvee. Yeah the Island of Dr. Moreau is definitely a must-see. Apparently there is a 1996 version and a 1977 film. I think I saw the 1996 film. I am curious about Fitzcarraldo which I had never heard of till Ann Patchett mentioned her influences. I must find it somewhere.

I want to see Fitzcarraldo too and have not read or seen the Island of Dr. Moreau. I will probably see more layers to Patchett’s book if I see them. Nice review.
