His publications about adaptation include a chapter on queer ethics in Brokeback Mountain in the forthcoming Queer Love in Film and Television (Palgrave, 2013), an article forthcoming in Diegesis on the ethics of the surprise ending in Ian McEwan’s Atonement and Joe Wright’s film adaptation (Spring 2013), and an essay in ImageText on fidelity and period aesthetics in comics adaptation (Fall 2011).
