For this edition of Book to Screen, we will examine the crime novel Rum Punch (1992) by Elmore Leonard, which was adapted for the silver screen as Jackie Brown (1997).Rum Punch is classic Elmore Leonard—the electrifying thriller that served as the basis for the acclaimed film Jackie Brown by director Quentin Tarantino, starring Pam Grier, Robert DeNiro and Samuel L. Jackson. Leonard’s story of a not-altogether-blameless flight attendant on the run from her vicious gun-running sometime employer who sees her as a troublesome loose end, Rum Punch is “the King Daddy of crime writers” (Seattle Times) at his sharpest and most ingeniously entertaining.
Come join us as we discuss this exciting crime saga!
