(An occasional round-up of book-related happenings.)
Anne Thompson reports on the screening at Berlin of Eroll Morris's Abu Ghraib documentary, Standard Operating Procedure. Though not based on a book, a companion volume, co-authored by Paris Review editor Philip Gourevitch, will be published in the UK in April... Over at Cinematical, there's news of '21', the film adaptation of Bringing Down the House, the true story of the Las Vegas blackjack scam perpetrated by six MIT students... Elsewhere on the same blog, there's an entertaining piece about the casting for Cowboys for Christ, described by Variety as: 'the story of a gospel singer and her cowboy friend who set off from Texas to enlighten Scottish heathens about the ways of Christ.' The movie will be based on the novel of the same name by Robin Hardy, director of The Wicker Man. Can't wait...
