À propos de cette écoute

Join Christine Merser as she shares her one-on-one interview with the legendary literary figure Warren Adler—the man who named the Watergate complex in D.C. Though he didn’t publish his first book until he was 46, Warren Adler has gone on to pen over 50 novels, 12 of which have been optioned by Hollywood, including The War of the Roses, starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito, and Random Hearts, starring Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas, directed by Sydney Pollack. In this interview, Adler shares what books can accomplish that no other art form can. He explains why Sydney Pollack and Harrison Ford weren’t happy when he did “the worst thing a writer could ever do,” and the role Dustin Hoffman played in bringing Random Hearts to the big screen. He discusses his Hollywood track record and how he’s decided to control his own destiny. Adler also reveals the three questions fiction writers are always asked, why writers shouldn’t worry about exposing secrets, and how a man who’s been very happily married for 67 years can write about such dysfunctional marriages. Warren also shares some insider tales from Hollywood, including why they stopped production on Gone with the Windand which star of The War of the Roses started out as a hairdresser. Also an essayist, short-story writer, poet, and playwright, Warren Adler’s works have been translated into 25 languages. He currently has three films and one television series in development.
