What is lost—and what is gained—in the translation of fiction to film?
French writers Philippe Djian, whose book was the basis for the film Betty Blue, and Jean-Philippe Toussaint, whose work has been compared to the films of Jim Jarmusch, are joined by American novelists and screenwriters Barry Gifford, whose Wild at Heart, directed by David Lynch, celebrates its 20th birthday this year, and Richard Price, whose book Clockers was directed by Spike Lee for the cinema. Author and former PEN American Center president Francine Prose, whose work has been adapted for both the stage and the screen, directs the action.
