Welcome to DEATH BY ADAPTATION, a bi-weekly book club where we choose one classic book and compare and contrast it against its cinematic adaptations.
In this episode, special guest Troy Little (acclaimed graphic novelist and Hunter S. Thompson fan) joined us to talk about his work in adapting FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, to then transition into discussing Thompson's earliest alcohol-fueled novel, THE RUM DIARY, and the 2011 Johnny Depp film.
