Episode description

One of our very first guests, this week, I was so pleased to welcome Kristen Lopez back to the podcast. Currently working as the Film Editor of The Wrap, Kristen, who is also the creator of the classic film podcast Ticklish Business, has worked as an entertainment journalist for more than fifteen years. And this year, she's published her very first book in conjunction with TCM dedicated to literary adaptations. Focused on 52 different feature films and the works that inspired them, this cheerily written release, entitled BUT HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK? is now available everywhere, and you should definitely check it out because it's a lot of fun. In this brisk and enthusiastic overview of some of Kristen's favorite screen literary adaptations, we move quickly from Ernest Hemingway to Harper Lee to Cormac McCarthy to Dennis Lehane and more. Focusing primarily on the films TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and THE GREAT GATSBY (2013), while touching on several others, book lovers are sure to enjoy this conversation.
