“What's better, the movie or the book?" 

How does a novel change when it is adapted for the screen? What are the merits of each medium? Visible Voice Books invites you to the first meeting of our new Movie vs. Book Club, where we’ll discuss these very questions.

During this month’s meeting, we’ll discuss Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton and its recently released adaptation Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon Ho & starring Robert Pattinson. We encourage you to purchase the novel from us and watch the movie prior to the meeting (available for streaming on AppleTV & other platforms).

"Mickey7 is a unique blend of thought-provoking sci-fi concepts, farcical relationship drama and exotic body horror. Edward Ashton keeps it all grounded via a protagonist who experiences the wonders of interstellar travel and alien contact while literally having the worst job in the universe. The result is alternately amusing, intriguing and horrifying, with each chapter seeming to engage a different part of your brain." —Jason Pargin, New York Times Bestselling author

Your host for the evening is Isaac, who says he loves movies (and books) "too much," but promises he's not an overbearing bro. He enjoys associative, nonlinear editing but also oners; visually predominant films but also films consisting mainly of conversations; and he hopes that his wide range of interests will welcome many film and book fans who want to bond over art.
