Fool's Hill, The Screenplay

One enthusiastic Amazon reviewer wrote in 2008 that John Quick’s "Fool’s Hill: A Kid’s Life in an Oregon Coastal Town" (Oregon State University Press, 1995) “is one of my favorite books, ever. About a young, precocious, inquisitive boy trying to make sense of the illogical world of adults, and the joy of growing up in a small coastal town. Each chapter reads like its own story. The author's reflections and remembrances are laugh-out-loud funny, a few are sad, some have elements of both.”With permission of the estate of John Quick, who died in 2000, Elaine Manson Buller has interpreted and enlivened the memoir in her treatment. Set in Oregon in 1941, the play focuses on John, his family, and other young and older residents in their colorful small-town setting on a bluff on the Pacific Ocean. Their dialogue continues Quick’s masterful storytelling…to read now, and to imagine someday being enjoyed on “the big screen.”..
