Death by Adaptation Podcast - Episode 07: The Rum Diary, feat. Troy Little
Death by Adaptation PodcastDeath By Adaptation is Clapper’s bi-weekly book club, where a group of cinephiles and bibliophiles meets up to discuss new and classic books and their cinematic adaptations, focusing on historical relevance, fun pieces of trivia, and how distinctly different the written and visual art forms are.
In this episode, special guest and graphic novelist Troy Little joined us to discuss the works of Hunter S. Thompson and the challenges he faced in adapting Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas into a graphic novel. Then we focused on Thompson’s first novel, The Rum Diary, comparing it to the 2011 Johnny Depp-starring film.
