Jonathan Franzen talks "The Corrections" adaptation

I had to make sure that this was a legit article, but the URL is Netlix.com, so I feel confident it is. Author of The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen, was interviewed and discussed a bit about his involvement in the adaptation of the novel to the screen, which has been picked up by Netflix. The biggest takeaway I had from this is that things seem to be moving forward. And the fact that Franzen is quoted, in reference to Meryl's involvement that, "She was not at the top of the list, she was the only person on the list." 

I'm excited by that fact that Franzen seems to be zeroed in on this story being sort of focused on the motivation of Enid specifically (Meryl's character). It sounds like he's been interested in revisiting this story and set of characters, particularly remarking about Enid, "I wanted to establish sympathy for Enid early and give her more dimensions, more nuance.” 

This makes me excited for the character and of course Meryl's performance. Hopefully we'll get some casting news sooner than later. 

It's a great article. Read it if you have the time, and read the book if you have even more time.
