episode 96: Susanna Kaysen: Girl, Interrupted, A Book To Movie Adaptation
It's a bonus episode, babyyyy! Tune in to hear Melissa's guest feature on A Novel Adaptation podcast, a show that examines book to movie adaptations hosted by Jordan and Em. Melissa went nostalgia with it and chose her favorite movie of all time, Girl, Interrupted! This movie is based off the 1993 memoir written by Susanna Kaysen that depicts her real-life experience as a young girl in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s. Melissa was surprised to discover that the book was A LOT more intense, dark, and graphic than the fun, bubbly, sisterhood energy that was portrayed in the movie.
