Shortly thereafter, however, I had to select a novel by a British author for class, and-because I longed to understand the tale that had captivated such a large film audience-I chose Clarke’s rewrite.

Funeral homes curate a final ceremony that provides space for guests to begin the journey. Clair, no one would ever call me a saint.
