Adaptations Book Club: Orlando/Freak Orlando

Ulrike Ottinger’s twist on the classic novel!

Adaptations Book Club is our monthly book club that meets to answer the age old question: Is the book truly better?

This June, we are reading Virginia Woolf’s Orlando and watching Ulrike Ottinger’s West German comedic take Freak Orlando. Both the novel and this film are celebrated for their unique takes on gender, sexuality, and queerness. Told over the course of five episodes, Freak Orlando provides a one-of-a-kind adaptational experience for the viewer.

Come ready to discuss the book as well as the film! Books purchased through our bookshop.org link directly benefit the store. Check it out!
