I’ve recently tidied up a few things behind the scenes — a “Start Here” page, some clearer signposting for the different threads running through this publication — and thought it was worth sharing with everyone, whether you’ve been here since the beginning or joined last week.
From Page to Frame is dedicated to literary books and their screen adaptations — not just which one’s “better,” but what each version is actually doing: how a story changes as it moves from page to screen, what’s gained, what’s lost, and why.
If you haven’t already, a good place to get oriented is my Start Here page — it points to the reviews and essays I’d recommend reading first, including my review of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day and its 1993 film adaptation, which also has an extended cut available for readers who want to go further.
If you like American literature and films, you might also enjoy my review of Train Dreams — Denis Johnson’s novella and its adaptation; a story that’s rooted in America’s landscape and history.
There are also two ongoing threads worth knowing about:
New essays go out as they’re finished, not on a fixed schedule — I’d rather take the time a piece needs than rush it out. All posts are free, and some content will always remain so.
If you want to reply directly, I read everything.
