Episode 82: Books to movies
We dissect the transformation of literature to the big screen. Karen McKay and Theresa Power from the Centre for Equitable Library Access share their thoughts on what makes a book adaptation successful, whether watching the adapted movie would drive people to read the book, and why or why not we would choose to hit the box office to experience a movie based on the books we love. Audiobook Café is broadcast on AMI-audio in Canada and publishes two new
podcast episodes a week on Saturdays and Sundays.
