Literary Films

Jacket Copy list of literary films for your holiday down time: “adaptations from novels, short stories, a comic series, biopics, one documentary and fictional renderings of the writing life. And when we got started, it turned out there were just too many, so we imposed rules: no miniseries or film trilogies — so no Lord of the Rings (sorry). Most important, we picked only one movie per year…going back to 1982.”
