Tea or Books? #25: to adapt or not to adapt, and To The North vs The House in Paris
Elizabeth Bowen and novels adapted into films – though not in conjunction…
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Tea-or-Books-episode-25.mp3
In the first half of this podcast, we discuss novels adapted into films – and whether or not we would like our favourite novels to be adapted into films – along with our takes on many different films we’ve seen. (By the by, do go and listen to my brother’s films podcast, The C to Z of Movies, which you can also find on iTunes.)
In the second half, we pit two Elizabeth Bowen novels against each other: To The North and The House in Paris, and I get into a mess trying to work out what I think of her. I’d love to hear what Bowen fans (and antifans) think of these books.
Listen in the player above, or a podcast app, or visit our iTunes page. Sorry for slightly lower quality than usual – we spoke for so long that the file size was too big for the usual quality!
