An author has a picture
Of her characters in mind,
But seeing them on screen might leave
That image far behind.
Except in cases where a role
Exactly coincides
With the writer's vision and the choice
The casting crew decides.
This happened in "The Wife," a film
Which sure deserves a look,
And stars Glenn Close to represent
The wife who leads the book.
An article I read described
The author's sheer delight
When she saw the movie and she knew
The actress got it right.
I wonder what they talked about,
When Glenn and Meg* did meet,
For listening to that conversation
Must have been a treat.
*Meg Wolitzer, author of "The Wife"
