Fine Cut: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret with Ona Gritz
Manage episode 450937893 series 3431782
Alyson and Ona Gritz (author of, most recently, a memoir entitled Everywhere I Look and a YA Novel in Verse, Take a Sad Song) discuss a moment in the film adaptation of Judy Blume’s beloved book, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. The moment they discuss is when Rachel McAdams’s character, Barbara, notices a bird out the window and is struck by creative inspiration only to be interrupted by the doorbell. This moment speaks to both Ona and Alyson and really anyone who is trying to balance a creative life with all of the concerns of everyday life. Ona and Alyson have a beautiful discussion about the book and movie and how this adaptation created a world and a character arc for Barbara and what a welcome addition that was. Join us!
