Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

July 15, 2009

I’m normally not current on Jane Austen news, but the title of a new adaptation of the famed author’s work has caught my eye: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Due out in September, it’s the follow-up to the unexpected hit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a “mash-up” of Austen’s novel with the undead that was published earlier this year by the appropriately named Quirk Books. My first thought when I read the news: What would Maggie Sullivan think?

Sullivan ’97 Lib, who we profiled in our March/April issue, is the founding editor of AustenBlog, a site devoted to all thing Jane Austen. As expected, Sullivan chimes in on this latest (and strangest) update of Austen’s work, even suggesting one of her own “gentle readers” might’ve inspired the idea.

And now, enjoy a trailer — yes, they make those for books now — of Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters.
