The Believers
ZOE HELLER in conversation with PATRICK MARBER
|
A scintillating conversation between acclaimed novelist Zoe Heller and Patrick Marber. Marber, who adaptated Heller's Notes on a Scandal for the screen, is now working on the screenplay of Heller's latest novel, The Believers. This comic, tragic and supremely entertaining story centres on one family's struggles with the consolations of faith and the trials of doubt, encompassing revolutionary socialism, Orthodox Judaism and a few things in between. |
