Out of the Book, On to the Screen

On Friday June 15 at 7:30 pm, Magers and Quinn will host a screening of the film documentary about McEwan's latest novel, On Chesil Beach, a story that gives a deep understanding of the innocence of a newly married couple--both virgins--in 1962, when marriage was presumed to be the outward sign of maturity and independence. The first film in the Out of the Book series is directed by Doug Biro.

The screening of the movie On Chesil Beach at Magers and Quinn will treat literary and film buffs to interviews with McEwan in London, commentary from peers, critics, and fans, and on-location footage from the novel's setting. Magers and Quinn is one of over 40 independent bookstores across the country which will host a special screening of On Chesil Beach.
