Beyond the Book

This article relates to An Unfinished Life

Print Review

Before this book, Spragg published a memoir (Where Rivers Change Direction, 1999) and a novel, The Fruit of Stone.  The movie of An Unfinished Life (starring Robert Redford and Jennifer Lopez) was originally due to be released around Christmas 2004 but is now scheduled for September this year.  Spragg and his wife worked simultaneously on both projects - he on the book and she on the screenplay.
