Book: At first I would have said something by Anne Sexton, maybe All My Pretty Ones or The Death Notebooks, but, if I'm going to take this seriously, and really imagine what it would be like to be stuck on a desert island, I think I'd choose something which was more upbeat. Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote. Pure entertainment, but also well written, with deep romantic undertones, and passages of great beauty. The book also features three short stories: "House of Flowers," "A Diamond Guitar," and "A Christmas Memory," all of which are impossibly good.
Film: Punch-Drunk Love, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (2002); dark, but also lovely and sweet.
Tool: Spear, for hunting fish.
Luxury item: A coal fire.
