Movie vs. Book Club

“What's better, the movie or the book?"  How does a novel change when it is adapted for the screen? What are the merits of each medium? Visible Voice Books invites you to the first meeting of our new Movie vs. Book Club, where we’ll discuss these very questions. During this month’s meeting, we’ll discuss Beloved by Toni Morrison and its 1998 film adaptation directed by Jonathon Demme, and featuring Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover. We encourage you to purchase the novel from us and watch the movie prior to the meeting (available for streaming on various platforms). Your host for the evening is Isaac, who says he loves movies (and books) "too much," but promises he's not an overbearing bro. He enjoys associative, nonlinear editing but also oners; visually predominant films but also films consisting mainly of conversations; and he hopes that his wide range of interests will welcome many film and book fans who want to bond over art.
