I’d say that absolutely nothing happened in the book – someone gets a letter, someone comes to visit, someone is new in town – but those nothings are everything to the characters who live in relative luxury in a small community and whose social lives are the essence of their happiness – or unhappiness. It’s precisely the reason that Clueless made such a fitting adaptation – what’s more social/trivial than life in high school?
Facebook. Reading Emma reminded me of spending a few hours on Facebook. So, with the expert help of my little sister Audrey, we summarized the book a la Facebook Status updates. Click to read Status Update: Emma (pdf)
