Season Finale! Never has David Mitchell's literary vision been more clearly on display than in his 2014 novel "The Bone Clocks," a series of interlocked tales that span the lifetime of Holly Sykes, from her introduction as a rebellious teen in 1980s England to a conclusion taking place in a chilling vision of the near future. But "The Bone Clocks" is also a wild tale of supernatural forces at work in our world AND a tour-de-force showcase of the author's virtuosity, working in a range of genres and styles... Not to mention the fact that this novel serves as the lynchpin connecting Mitchell's various works from "Cloud Atlas" to "Black Swan Green"! Can this "elevated genre" novel be adapted to the screen? Listen in to find out! PLUS: A sneak peek at "Apples to Giraffes" Season Two and our list of "Five Graphic Novels Just Begging to be Brought to Life on the Screen"!
