Today's book news is dominated by Tomi Adeyemi's painful decision to skip the film adaptation of 'Children of Blood & Bone.' Meanwhile, a deep dive into Elizabeth Bishop's love life offers a quieter but richer story about the origins of a great poem.
The biggest story today is an author publicly distancing herself from her own movie.
Tomi Adeyemi says she won't watch the Paramount adaptation of her bestselling YA novel, calling the experience 'painful' in DMs shared on TikTok. Multiple outlets are covering this, and it raises questions about author control over adaptations.
A more literary piece explores the real-life love that inspired one of the greatest poems ever written.
The Marginalian tells the story of Elizabeth Bishop's relationship with Alice Methfessel, connecting it to the themes of loss and love in Bishop's poem 'One Art.' A good read for poetry fans.
