With discussions led by USC-Aiken humanities scholars, LTAI is more than your average book club! Participants will read, watch, and then compare the novels to their film adaptations.

This 2003 film is based on BIG FISH: A Novel of Mythic Proportions by Daniel Wallace. Actors featured include: Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Billy Crudup, Jessica Lange, Alison Lohman, Helena Bonham Carter, Robert Guillaume, Marion Cotillard, and Matthew McGrory

“William Bloom is a young man who never really knew his now dying father, Edward – outside of the tall tales his dad told him about growing up. During Edward’s last days William and his wife Josephine hold a bedside vigil next to the old man as he recollects elaborate memories of his youth. Still doubting the legends and folklore, William makes a journey to meet a mysterious woman from whom Edward had bought property.”
