Adaptations Book Club: White Bird in a Blizzard
When: Wed., Nov. 12, 7-10 p.m. 2025
Adaptations Book Club is WLV's monthly book club that meets to answer the age old question: Is the book truly better?
For November we are reading an under-read book along with an under-seen adaptation.
Originally published in 1999, Laura Kasischke’s White Bird in a Blizzard follows a 16 year old girl adjusting to her mother’s sudden disappearance. In her daily life she’s able to still be a regular teen girl but in her dreams, she is haunted by her mother’s absence.
Adapted by New Queer Cinema legend Gregg Araki in 2014.
