Shelby Van Pelt’s first novel, “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” became an instant bestseller and book club favorite. It’s an unexpected tale of a highly intelligent giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. He forms a friendship with a woman who mops floors at the aquarium where he is held captive. The book is now being adapted into a Netflix film starring Sally Field. Shelby spoke with Beth Milligan, head writer for the Traverse City Ticker, at Lars Hockstad Auditorium in Traverse City.
