Novels into Film Event in Boston, MA

If you live in the Boston area, check out the Adaptations II: Novels into Film event coming up on Thursday, October 11th where authors Arthur Golden, Russell Banks, Alice Hoffman and Scott Heim will read short excerpts from their novels, show the corresponding scenes from the film versions, and discuss the “translation” from page to screen. Films discussed include Golden’s Memoirs of a Geisha, Banks’s The Sweet Hereafter, Hoffman’s Practical Magic, and Heim’s Mysterious Skin. The event is co-sponsored by Grub Street and the Coolidge Corner Theater who urge you to sign up early, as tickets for Adaptations I sold out quickly!
