"The Gift" That Keeps On Giving

On the March 12 edition of NPR's Fresh Air, novelist Jonathan Letham talked about a project on his website called "Promiscuous Materials". The premise is that he's offering up various stories of his for other people to turn into films or plays, and song lyrics for other people to set to music--without his receiving his usual royalty for his intellectual property. In the Fresh Air interview, he cites Hyde's book as the inspiration for this experiment.

i was just about to share two other Gift-related projects, but I think I'll hold off to see if anyone brings them up in class this week or next... If not, I'll try my damnedest to remember to post them here.
