Lee de Forest, “Means for Recording and Reproducing Sound”, #1,446,246 US PATENT, 20 February 1923 was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Here I present: Richard Mueller (novelization)“Ghostbusters”, 1984, Dan Aykroyd & Harold Ramis (screenwriters).
INTRODUCTION.
Literature, as an art form, has six (6) genres:
1. Cinema,
2. Fiction,
3. Nonfiction,
4. Drama,
5. Poetry,
6. Folktales.
Five (5) of these genres originated in Oral Prehistory; and, only Cinema originated (technologically) in modern times as a Literary genre.
Lee de Forest in 1923 invented “talkie Cinema”.
Theater & Cinema are often adaptions of fiction books. The reverse process of “novelization” is what Richard Mueller, “Ghostbusters”, 1984 is. “Ghostbusters” was already a success of screenwriting.

COMMENTS.
I had a friend when I lived in Tokyo, JAPAN for fifteen (15) years who hated “novelization” of Cinema. He taught English language to Japanese in Tokyo. I told him about the popularity of “novelization” books in Japan is great because of the second language of English. Foreign speaking people around the world like “Hollywood Cinema” which is in the English language.
Foreign “Cinema” purchase “novelization” books because English is a second-language. “Cinema” as a genre adaptation to print in English sell worldwide. Richard Mueller, “Ghostbusters”, 1984 adaptation is a “Hollywood” success classic.
