Failure to Adapt


Sep 8, 2021

The Locus Award Winning, Perfect and Prolific Author & Essayist Meg Elison (Find Layla, Big Girl, The Book of The Unnamed Midwife, etc…) agreed to join Maggie Tokuda-Hall & Red Scott to discuss absolutely any adaptation, as long as it was the Thomas Harris novel The Silence of the Lambs (1988) and the Jonathan Demme film, The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

Keep up with Meg on twitter at @megelison and her website megelison.com
