Narrative
Judy
Blume has written (so far) 28 books, sold over 85 million copies, and
won more than 90 writing awards, including in 2000 the Library of
Congress Living Legends award. The first of Judy Blume’s books to be
translated to film, Tiger Eyes stars Willa Holland (Gossip
Girl, The O.C.) as a teenager grappling with the sudden loss of her
father. Crippled by grief, her mom moves the family to New Mexico to
stay with her sister. Shell-shocked and culture-shocked, Davey befriends
a wise, sexy Native American young man who helps her through this
difficult time.
Followed by a conversation with Director Lawrence Blume.
Presented as part of the Hyman S.& Freda Bernstein Jewish Literary Festival.
