Princess bride
Ren Allen
Did anyone find the information on Goldman being the author of the
original? I read this:
# If you look up S.Morgenstern, you'll find The Princess Bride and a
book called The Silent Gondoliers. There are two versions of the
latter one: A Fable by S. Morgenstern, with the author being William
Goldman and another called William Goldman's The Silent Gondoliers,
with the author being S. Morgenstern. Many authors have pen names, and
it is believed that S. Morgenstern was Goldman's.
# In Goldman's book Five Screenplays, Goldman admits that he wrote the
Princess Bride, and that he made up the whole Morgenstern thing.
There's more. Apparently some people believe that Morgenstern never
existed, it was just all part of the layering that Goldman
did...hey,did he use the fairy tale "mystique" to give the original
more awe? Interesting.

We read THE PRINCESS BRIDE for a book club I led, where I had to research it all. Morgenstern is a name used by Goldman--the book has many layers of irony and humor, the name thing just being a piece of the whole clever puzzle. I've read THE SILENT GONDOLIERS, too (also by Goldman,) which is just a very sweet, cute fable of loyalty.

Interesting, except that means he was lying through his teeth in an
interview published by the Science Fiction Book Club (on their website)
where he told the story that I quoted about giving the "original" book to
his son. I rather resent being bullshitted to like that (although it doesn't
change my enjoyment of the movie).
