The Sound Of Things Falling to be adapted by House Of Gucci scribe

Classic novel The Sound Of Things Falling is heading to the screen, and here are the first details. The Sound Of Things Falling by Juan Gabriel Vásquez is widely considered to be one of the most important Latin American novels of the century thus far. To date, it’s been translated into over 30 languages and published in 50 countries. The novel follows Antonio Yammara, who, after witnessing the murder of the mysterious Ricardo Laverde, begins a descent into the dark heart of the Columbian drug trade in an attempt to find out who his friend really was.
