I recently\u00c2\u00a0discovered that three of Henning Mankell’s Kurt Wallander books have been made into movies for the BBC starring Kenneth Branagh as Kurt Wallander.\u00c2\u00a0 And Mankell is working on another Wallander book!\u00c2\u00a0 The movies will air in the United States on PBS in the spring.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently many movies with Kurt Wallander as the main character have been made in Sweden.<\/p>\n
When I read a book I usually imagine what the characters look like.\u00c2\u00a0 If the author has done a poor job with description I have a difficult time\u00c2\u00a0picturing the character.\u00c2\u00a0 Kenneth Branagh is not who I imagined as Kurt Wallander.\u00c2\u00a0 In my head he looked a lot like Stellan Skarsgard but shorter.\u00c2\u00a0 The publicity photos show Branaghas as an unshaven disheveled man and that is good enough for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I doubt my image of Wallander will be replaced by Branagh when I read more of the books.<\/p>\n
A few months ago\u00c2\u00a0I read Faceless Killers<\/a>, the first Kurt Wallander book, and it’s still one of my favorite reads of the year.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m anticipating enjoying these movies next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently\u00c2\u00a0discovered that three of Henning Mankell’s Kurt Wallander books have been made into movies for the BBC starring Kenneth Branagh as Kurt Wallander.\u00c2\u00a0 And Mankell is working on another Wallander book!\u00c2\u00a0 The movies will air in the United States on PBS in the spring.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently many movies with Kurt Wallander as the main character… Continue reading Henning Mankell\/Kurt Wallander News!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24,45],"class_list":["post-710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-book","tag-henning-mankell","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=710"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":715,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710\/revisions\/715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.amberstults.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
