Caging Skies author on JoJo Rabbit adaptation

New Zealand-made film JoJo Rabbit, is up for 6 Oscars including best picture. Supermodel turned author, Christine Leunens wrote Caging Skies, the novel from which the movie's screenplay was adapted. She talks to Kathryn Ryan about how the book was adapted, and the daring decision to include a darkly comic twist in the form of Jojo's imaginary friend, who's based on Hitler. Interestingly Caging Skies didn't have an easy path to publication. At the time it was questioned whether readers would be interested in a another story about World War II so the novel was first published in Spanish, and then in Catalan, Italian, and French, before an English version came out.
