Essay Question

[rolanni]

So, today is a day off.  My plan is to wrestle the kitchen counter into a semblance of order while listening to trashy rock 'n roll music.  Beat that, Bermuda!

But, before I retire into this day-dream of sybaritic delight, I have a question for y'all.  It's a serious question, and may eventually produce real-world events.  Or not.  Which pretty much sums up the freelance lifestyle.

What I'd like to know is this:

Which short Liaden work -- by which I mean, NOT a novel -- do you think would best translate to TV/cinema?  Note that I'm not asking for your "favorite" story, here, but the story-or-stories that would best translate.

For instance, I have a sneaking fondness for "The Space at Tinsori Light" -- but!  I'm well-known as someone who has not a clue regarding the demands of/what can be conveyed by visual media.

So!  Have at it, if you will; I look forward to seeing what y'all have to say.

And now?  The countertop calls.

A Day at the Races.

Reasons behind my choice? It's one of my favorite short stories, it's fairly self-contained, Val Con totally tells Kareen off, it has lots of action, and I can't get the image of young Val Con and Shan, where Shan tells Val Con that they can share his mother.
