This summer, as part of Tredyffrin Public Library's new Adult Summer Reading program "Novel Destinations", the library will show four feature films that have been adapted from short stories. The final film will be BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, directed by Ang Lee, 2005. The original short story by Annie Proulx is also titled "Brokeback Mountain".
Read the original story, then come to the library for a viewing of the film and an informal discussion facilitated by local film buffs Kate Currigan and Lori O'Connor. Copies of the short stories are available at Tredyffrin Public Library or in the Chester County Library System catalog. Explore the similarities and differences between the two mediums and see how well each story translates to the big screen.
Find more information and sign up for all four movies on the library website: www.tredyffrinlibraries.org.
