Castine Patriot covers Grillo’s talk on Pulitzer novels as films
Castine Patriot reported on a recent talk at the Witherle Memorial Library in Castine by Michael Grillo, a University of Maine art historian and chairman of the Department of Art. To open the library’s Pulitzer Prize film series, Grillo spoke about several films that have been based on Pulitzer Prize-winning novels, including “This Is Our Life,” “All the President’s Men” and “The Color Purple,” according to the article. “Pulitzer Prize-winning novels speak to what is topical in American culture during a specific time period, whether it be political or otherwise,” Grillo said. The Pulitzer Prizes also reported on Grillo’s talk, citing the Castine Patriot article.
