It made sense that in 2019 at the Academy Awards, Can You Ever Forgive Me? was up for best supporting actor, best lead actress, and best writing for a screenplay adaption. Watching the 2018 film starring Melissa McCarthy, I felt a great sense of story, emotion, desperation, and examination of human complexity. Able to keep the ruse up for almost two years, Israel then is finally caught by the FBI and given probation. Instead, she starts forging letters by old-timey famous actors and writers, such as Dorothy Parker and Noel Coward. She’s never held a real job, being able to support herself with writing for quite a time, and so working like a joe-schmoe just isn’t for her. In the early 1990s, best-selling - but now irrelevant - biographer Lee Israel finds herself running out of money. The audiobook image capitalizes on the success of the film by integrating the movie poster.
