Adaptation: From Novel to Big Screen

Discussed: Foe, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, literary adaptations, interiority in fiction, the filmmaking process

We’re thrilled to share our conversation with novelist Iain Reid, whose bestselling novels I’m Thinking of Ending Things and Foe have both been adapted to film. We discussed the choices that writers make when translating for different mediums and audiences, as well as the specific challenges that come with translating introspective texts. And we discussed his experience co-writing the screenplay of Foe, which is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.
