 Harlan Ellison is the screenwriter for "Bug Jack Barron".  On
one of his recent guest appearances on "Hour 25" (KPFK- 90.7 FM in L.A.,
Fridays 10pm - midnight) He talked about the project and read
a scene.

 He said that due to the constraints of the medium he was taking
large liberties with the story line and characters, but trying
to bring the essence of the original to the screen.  Since no writer
ever says "I'm doing a hack job - and you won't recognise the result"
I'd say to not expect a literal rendition, but based on Harlan's
evangelical seriousness about writing; do expect a creditable job.
