Stanley Kubrick’s house looks as if the Inland Revenue took it over long ago.
Tony takes me into a large room painted blue and filled with books. “This used to be the cinema,” he says.
“Is it the library now?” I ask.
“Look closer at the books,” says Tony.
I do. “Bloody hell,” I say. “Every book in this room is about Napoleon!”
“Look in the drawers,” says Tony.
I do.
“It’s all about Napoleon, too!” I say. “Everything in here is about Napoleon!”
A very worthwhile article at the Guardian that is most certainly not all about Napoleon, but about the late, great Stanley Kubrick.
