“What's better, the movie or the book?" 

How does a novel change when it is adapted for the screen? What are the merits of each medium? Visible Voice Books invites you to the first meeting of our new Movie vs. Book Club, where we’ll discuss these very questions.

During this month’s meeting, we’ll discuss the narrative poem Song of Lunch by Christopher Reid and its film adaptation directed by Niall MacCormick.

“A mock elegy for the heady joys of old-time Soho, 'The Song of Lunch' displays the full range of Reid's wit, craft and human sympathy.”

Your host for the evening is Isaac, who says he loves movies (and books) "too much," but promises he's not an overbearing bro. He enjoys associative, nonlinear editing but also oners; visually predominant films but also films consisting mainly of conversations; and he hopes that his wide range of interests will welcome many film and book fans who want to bond over art.
