With several thousand writers and one tired agent (Be Reel co-host Noah Ballard) visiting Portland for AWP ’19 last week, we cracked the spine live and in-person of a related podcast category: the writer as forger, as plagiarist, as literary Danny Ocean. This time out, Be Reel discusses “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” (2018), “The Hoax” (2007) and “Secret Window” (2004) for a three-movie slate of word crimes.
Plus, we’re joined by two esteemed authors who’d never do any of this shady stuff — Natalie Serber (“Shout Her Lovely Name”) and Nick White (“Sweet and Low”) — to discuss their favorite films about writers. Be Reel is brought to you by California College of the Arts’ MFA in Writing program.
