2015 Lit Fest Salon: Fiction vs. Film Smack Down

The Literary salon has been a tradition at Lit Fest, featuring three or more speakers with varying perspectives on a theme, along with audience participation.

Two novelists and three screenwriters square off in this Fiction vs. Film Smack Down between opposing (or are they) cultural forces. They’ll talk about the strengths and shortcomings of each storytelling mode in an attempt to articulate which—in prose or cinema—is the superior narrative medium of our time. Featuring: Nick Arvin, Jenny Taylor-Whitehorn, David Wroblewski, Alexandre O. Philippe, and Pamela Ribon.
