Book Review
From Text(s) to Screen: Adapting Genius
2017
Overview
First Berg and then Logan read Wolfe; later Grandage, Jude Law, and Colin Firth prepared for making the film by reading Wolfe's fiction-all the more attracted to it because, in contrast to their familiarity with Hemingway and Fitzgerald, they had known nothing of the writer or his writing (\"Jude\"). First of all, there is the cultural atmosphere into which the film is launched-the world of the audience. Recently, it has been observed, movies have been \"getting bigger, louder, more colorful, and faster, faster, faster\" (Allen 624). [...]Genius may be alien to the culture it attempts to engage. A striking interpolated scene takes place in a Harlem jazz club. Besides fleshing out the social context, this scene dramatizes the clash of Perkins's puritanism and Wolfe's presumed hedonism.
