"The First Day of Spring" by Howell Hurst

For this episode, we reach back in our archives to the April 1969 issue for the story “The First Day of Spring” by Howell Hurst. More than forty years after the story’s publication, Mr. Hurst is turning it into a feature-length film, also called “The First Day of Spring,” set in the present. Mr. Hurst reads the story and answers some questions we had about the creative process of translating a short story into film.
