      abstract = {These essays all--in various ways--address the  relationship between adaptation, "true events," and  cultural memory. They ask (and frequently answer) the  question: how do we script stories about real events that  are often still fresh in our memories and may involve  living people? True Event Adaptation: Scripting Real Lives  contains essays from scholars committed to interrogating  historical and current hard-hitting events, traumas, and  truths through various media. Each essay goes beyond  general discussion of adaptation and media to engage with  the specifics of adapting true life events--addressing  pertinent and controversial questions around scriptwriting,  representation, ethics, memory, forms of history, and  methodological interventions. Written for readers  interested in how memory works on culture as well as  screenwriting choices, the collection offers new  perspectives on historical media and commercial media that  is currently being produced, as well as on media created by  the book's contributors themselves.},
