Discussion Topics

Adaptation

This coming Monday will be a bit different from our other class meetings. For most of the class time, we'll be focusing on The Long Goodbye, film and book. We'll finish up reading those passages you've found from the novel. Then I'll lecture on the film. We'll also discuss the novel a bit more. Toward the end of class, we'll watch The Little Mermaid. (Your papers on The Little Mermaid and your final papers will be due the next week.) Bring your copies of The Long Goodbye to class and think about these questions:
1) What does the title mean?
2) How would you describe the author's style?
3) What do we know about Philip Marlowe? How do we know this?
