In 1974, Laird Koenig published the novel The Little Girl Who Lives
Down The Lane. A film version, directed by Nicolas Gessner and
starring Jodie Foster, appeared two years later. A dramatic
adaptation by Mr. Koenig was published decades after in 1997.
Considered a one-of-a-kind thriller and cult classic, TLGWLDTL now
undergoes a considerably extensive analysis by Canadian poet R. W.
Watkins. A longtime fan of writer Koenig and actress Foster,
Watkins examines the story from various angles, pointing out its
Judeo/Christian themes, Holocaust symbolism, film continuity
errors, similarities to Ayn Rand's objectivism, etc. Many of these
essays originally appeared in Watkins's 2003 fanzine Cellar.
Watkins drew upon TLGWLDTL for his 2005 haiku chapbook, New England
Country Farmhouse. The introductory essay from that volume is
collected in this book. Rewardingly eccentric, View From The Cellar
is essential reading for any hardcore fan of Koenig's tale and
1970s pop culture in general.
