Studies of adaptation from novels to film are common, but not as widely known are adaptations with the opposite relationship. In Novelization: From Film to Novel, Jan Baetens explores how transforming an original film or screenplay into a novel establishes a new genre and revises our understanding of narrative theory more broadly. A typical example of popular literature, novelization has remained an overlooked practice in spite of the cultural and commercial importance of the genre, which is as old as cinema itself.Novelization offers a historical overview of the genre, focusing on the various formats that have been adopted since the first decades of the twentieth century until today: daily and weekly novelizations, cheap brochures, pocket books, and trade editions. It studies the specific features of the genre from various points of view: narrative style, illustrations, authorship, and marketing. By studying novelization from a broad historical perspective, Baetens reframes our understanding of adaptation and the relationship between cinema and literature. Rather than assume that cinematic adaptations either cannibalize or rejuvenate literature, Novelization ultimately offers the opportunity to rethink the adaptation paradigm of film and literary studies.

Une novellisation n'est en principe rien d'autre que l'adaptation d'un film sous forme de livre. En général, il s'agit d'un sous-produit hollywoodien que les auteurs répugnent à signer de leur vrai nom, tellement le genre est stigmatisé. Mais comme rien ne doit échapper à la poésie, surtout pas les grands films (et « Vivre sa vie » de Godard, qui vient d'être réédité en DVD, est un chef-d'ouvre absolu), il arrive qu'on essaie de faire autre chose. Non pour dissimuler le travail de Godard sur la grisaille, mais justement pour le faire ressortir avec plus d'éclat encore. En 1962, Jean-Luc Godard annonce ainsi son nouveau film : « Un film sur la prostitution qui raconte comment une jeune et jolie vendeuse parisienne donne son corps mais garde son âme alors qu'elle traverse comme des apparences une série d'aventures qui lui font connaître tous les sentiments humains profonds possibles et qui ont été filmés par Jean-Luc Godard et joués par Anne Karina. » En 2003, Jan Baetens a transposé l'esprit de Vivre sa vie à un recueil de poésie en 15 tableaux qui tentent chacun de rendre le goût et la couleur des images et des péripéties de ce film mythique. Pour ce faire, il s'est appuyé sur les techniques de la « novellisation », cette forme particulière de l'adaptation qui part du film pour aboutir à un livre.
