What book can you not believe hasn't yet been turned into a movie?
When I first thought of this question, six books instantly flooded to mind all at once, because they are books I re-read, and every time I wonder why no one's ever seen fit to bring them to the screen, because they're all powerful, amazing, unique stories:
1. Donna Tartt's The Secret History
2. Michelle Cliff's No Telephone to Heaven
3. Katherine Dunn's Geek Love
4. Margaret Marshall Saunders' Beautiful Joe
5. Doris Lessing's Briefing for a Descent Into Hell
6. Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye
See if you can spot what all six of these books have in common.
