ADAPTATIONS: Novels Into FilmThurs, Dec 10 @ 7:30 pm  $15 / $12 Coolidge and Grub Street members Have you ever been embroiled in one of those "which-is-better-the-book-or-the-film" conversations? If so, you know they can get pretty heated. Imagine, then, how you'd feel seeing your book altered and shaped to the silver screen. On December 10th, you can hear exactly how it feels from four fantastic writers: Tom Perrotta, Elinor Lipman, Richard Russo and just-announced host/emcee/moderator Andre Dubus III (House of Sand and Fog). We will see scenes from Russo's Nobody's Fool, Lipman's Then She Found Me, and Perrotta's Little Children and hear the authors read the corresponding scenes from their books, along with some behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the process of the adaptation. Sure to be a lively, fun, informative and inspiring evening. Sign up early – tickets for the 2007 version sold out quickly, and seating is limited.
