From Gay Movie to Gay Novel (and viceversa)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Look, look what I found: Alyson Books announced the release in March 2010 of Shelter: A Novel, by Calen McCarthy, based on the screenplay by Jonah Markowitz.

Amazon: Shelter: A Novel

Winner of the GLAAD Award as Outstanding Film—Limited Release, the acclaimed motion picture Shelter is now adapted as a novel tie-in to the film

Shelter centers on a young man, Zach, in San Pedro, California, who gives up on his dream of art school in order to provide for his family, consisting of his aging father and his young nephew Cody, whose mother Jeanne has decided her priorities lie elsewhere. When his best friend's brother Shaun returns to town, Zach finds in him a friend and confidante. As Zach becomes increasingly attracted to Shaun, their casual surfing relationship turns into much more, setting off a chain of events forcing Zach to choose between continuing to put others first or fighting for what he wants for himself.

Obviously the book is already in my Wish List and I just received my copy of Mulligans, adaptation from the movie by the same title and author Charlie David, who is also main actor in the movie.

And it's also a nice add to my Listmania From Gay Movie to Gay Novel (and viceversa). If you have other title I forgot to add, please tell me.
