169 - Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
from Another Book on the Shelf Hosted by Gen and Jette
Episode 169 is another instalment of Page to Screen, where we read a book, watch the screen adaptation, and talk about both. This time we're discussing Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer and the 2018 film adaptation of the same name, directed by Alex Garland. Show Notes The book and the movie are so different, but they're both so good in their own ways! We can't wait to read the rest of the books in the Southern Reach series: Authority, Acceptance, and Absolution. Neither of us had ever heard of the New Weird literary genre, which Vandermeer is considered a part of, but we are here for it. We continue to take a firm stance against deckled edges on books. Our next episode we'll be talking about the graphic novel Alone in Space by Tillie Walden, a collection of Walden's early short comics, Read our latest blog post, March 2025 Book Releases for Comfort Reading, where Gen rounds up anticipated March releases.
