Mini Episode - Genre Series: The One With the Beautiful Sentences

This week we're continuing The Genre Series with literary fiction. Everyone seems to have an opinion about it, but ask ten readers to define it and you'll probably get ten different answers. This week we're exploring what literary fiction is, what it isn't, what readers expect from it, and why adapting these introspective, character-driven stories for film and television isn't always as straightforward as it seems.

From the page to the screen—and every plot twist in between—Chapter One, Scene One is where books meet their movie and TV adaptations. Every week, we read it, watch it, and then bring our completely unbiased (and occasionally judgmental) opinions to the discussion.
