Report: HBO to Develop Cult-Fave Book into Series B&C

HBO will develop a book that has both won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and was chosen by Oprah Winfrey as one of her book club selections—Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides—as a series, reports Melissa Grego of B&C.

Major talent is associated with the project: "Actor-producer Rita Wilson is executive producing, along with the project’s writer Donald Margulies," B&C says. Margulies himself is a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright.
