“Crazy Glue” is the only story I’ve ever written that was inspired by a glue commercial, and it’s also my story with the most film adaptations. More than a dozen short films based on the story have been made in various places around the world. I’ve taken part in several literary events where one of the adaptations was screened, but this is the first time I’ve read it aloud.
