Munster Literature Centre, Cork, Ireland.
When I was a member of the Munster Literature Centre, I did a masterclass in Short Story with James Lasdun.
The title story of his published collection The Siege: Selected Stories, was adapted for film by Bernardo Bertolucci as Besieged , only one adaptation.
Sunday was based on his story Ate Menos or The Miracle and co-written with Jonathan Nossiter. (Info from Wiki.)
Frances and James Lasdun during the 2003 Masterclass at MLC, Cork.
Later that year, I attended a festival at MLC with Richard Ford speaking, who’s novel Independence Day was adapted and directed by Roland Emmerich in 1996 and a huge hit.
The Paris Review did a very good interview with him soon after the film was made.
So, yesterday, I found this amazing resource – opportunities for competition and publications for writers of SHORT STORIES: Paul McVeigh and just HAD to share.
