Bayard
On the day the Oscar noms roll in, featuring many films with a literary angle like The King’s Speech and The Social Network, news broke of another literary adaptation: Louis Bayard’s The Pale Blue Eye. We’re fans of Bayard’s work here at BookPage and can’t wait to see what Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper (who is also adapting Hillenbrand’s Unbroken for the big screen) will do with this story of Edgar Allen Poe’s early years as a West Point cadet.
Bayard fans can look for our review of his next novel, The School of Night, in April.
