This week, writer-producer and person behind the bookstagram @readingtheother, Srishti Raj, joins us to discuss dilemmas around representation, ‘staying true’ to the text, grappling with the legacy of complicated authors, and why we have a love-hate relationship with screen adaptations of books.
Here are some of the books and movies we refer to in this podcast which we love:
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
The Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante
The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante
The Lost Daughter the film
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Little Women the 2019 film
And here is the link to Elena Ferrante’s interview Srishti talks about at 34.14 — https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/nov/10/elena-ferrante-on-screen-adaptations-of-her-novels
