Cammell's, I suppose, was a failed career, ... but it was a good deal more interesting than the careers of many people who were much more successful. He was quite a remarkable man.
There's a funny thing to when you're writing something that's not quite yours. You feel unburdened. There's a strange liberty to it, although I was still trying to be faithful to them.
Brando clearly was imagining himself as that person. There are several aspects of it that fit with Brando very well; that kind of loner, interested in sailing and the South Seas, drawn to Asian women and eating and drinking.
I don't look for anyone to say this is a great novel, although I do think it's a fine, fun read. But what I think is most interesting is that the character of Annie is so clearly a portrait of Brando and that so much of him gets into it.
