Brookner

I worked on a film about William Burroughs many years ago, in the late ’70s, by Howard Brookner, called “Burroughs.”

It turns out that Carr thinks she may have won in 2022 because she delivered a powerful monologue by her character, Dr Emma Brookner, in The Normal Heart.

Ms. Brookner was still in her 20s when she had her first CIA assignment in Manila.

When Ms. Brookner was named station chief in Jamaica in 1989, she became the first woman to lead a station in the Caribbean or Latin America.

Ms. Brookner reported her deputy station chief for beating his wife; she cited a second officer who had allegedly threatened to kill his Jamaican security guards; and she disciplined a female case officer who was said to have drunkenly shouted in a bar that she worked for the CIA and hated her job.
