“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.

January’s meeting will be on the second Wednesday due to New Year’s. During this meeting, we’ll discuss Amy Liptrot's memoir Outrun and its recently released adaptation by directed by Nora Fingscheidt and starring Saoirse Ronan. We encourage you to purchase the novel from us on bookshop.org and watch the movie prior to the meeting (available for rental streaming on Youtube and AppleTV for $5.99).

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.

Use the form below to sign up and stay connected for book club updates (or just show up on the 8th!)

About the book:

“The Outrun will no doubt sit alongside . . . Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk―the sheer sensuality of Liptrot’s prose and her steely resolve immediately put her right up there with the best of the best.”―New Statesman

When Amy Liptrot returns to Orkney after more than a decade away, she is drawn back to the Outrun on the sheep farm where she grew up. Approaching the land that was once home, memories of her childhood merge with the recent events that have set her on this journey.

Amy was shaped by the cycle of the seasons, birth and death on the farm, and her father’s mental illness, which were as much a part of her childhood as the wild, carefree existence on Orkney. But as she grew up, she longed to leave this remote life. She moved to London and found herself in a hedonistic cycle. Unable to control her drinking, alcohol gradually took over. Now thirty, she finds herself washed up back home on Orkney, standing unstable at the cliff edge, trying to come to terms with what happened to her in London.

Spending early mornings swimming in the bracingly cold sea, the days tracking Orkney’s wildlife―puffins nesting on sea stacks, arctic terns swooping close enough to feel their wings―and nights searching the sky for the Merry Dancers, Amy slowly makes the journey toward recovery from addiction.

The Outrun is a beautiful, inspiring book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind, and the moon to restore life and renew hope.
