I love Shakespeare’s King Lear, I prefer his tragedies and histories over his comedies.
I read Jane Smiley’s A Thousand Acres when I was in high
school and loved the book and film version. I saw this youtube clip of Jane
Smiley talking about King Lear and
her novel and the similarities between the two. I thought it would be a nice
video to put up since we just saw the movie Adaptation. If you have not read
the book, I would recommend it. The book is better than the movie but the movie
good too. Jessica Lange was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance as Ginny aka Goneril. The movie and play speaks of themes still relevant today.
