Feast of Love Movie

By Jess Mehr, Non-Fiction Editor

I'm reading Charles Baxter's The Feast of Love on Fiction Editor Jon Sealy's recommendation, only to discover that there is a movie version of the book coming out on September 28th. It stars Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear (as Bradley). It's directed by Robert Benton, who won an Oscar for Kramer vrs. Kramer. I hope Charlie Baxter got a dump-truck full of money for it. Check out our upcoming anniversary issue for a review of Baxter's new collection of craft essays.

Who is playing Charlie Baxter? Or did they lose that element of the story in the movie?

I haven't read the book (everyone gasp), but the trailer looks good. (Is Morgan Freeman playing Charles Baxter?)

I believe Morgan Freeman is playing Harry Ginsberg, although I doubt the character will keep that surname.

Morgan Freeman plays a sort of composite character. It's Harry Ginsburg (yes, with the surname changed), but, like the Charles Baxter character, he suffers from insomnia and a restless spirit.

The Charlie Baxter character isn't in the movie. And Morgan Freeman is a morphed version of Harry Ginsberg

There was a lot of freaking sex in this movie; I mean, some of it was kinda hot, but I half expected to see Morgan Freeman get it on.

I haven't read the book, but I thought it was a good movie... probably one you could wait to rent.
