Daniel Woodrell: "The Maid’s Version"

Daniel Woodrell’s “country noirs” have inspired filmmakers like Ang Lee and helped launch the career of actor Jennifer Lawrence. The author of "Winter’s Bone" joins the Festival to discuss another dark and affecting story rooted in the Missouri Ozarks. "The Maid’s Version" takes us to 1929 and the mysteries surrounding a dance hall fire.

This program is presented in partnership with the Chicago Tribune’s Printers Row series.
