YPG Book to Film Club: The Grapes of Wrath
Thanks to those of you who joined us for our last film club viewing and discussion of TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer. Our next YPG Book to Film Club selection is THE GRAPES OF WRATH by John Steinbeck (Viking, 1939). Set during the Great Depression, this American classic follows a poor family of tenant farmers after they are driven from their Oklahoma home and travel west to California to forge a new life. The acclaimed 1940 film <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032551/> was directed by John Ford and stars Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell and John Carradine.
The viewing and discussion will take place on Wednesday, September 18th, from 7:00-9:30pm at Penguin (375 Hudson Street, room location TBD). You must sign up to attend, so RSVP HERE. Pick up your copy of the book now and see you there!
Bonus: YPG Book to Film Club group discussions will now be featured on the web site for Word & Film ! Stay tuned for the first write-up on SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK and the second one on TWILIGHT.
