Storytellers: Baz Luhrmann, George Stroumboulopoulos

Known: Baz Luhrmann's vibrant cinematic storytelling borders on the sensory overload, but remains visually irresistible.  I've loved his work since his 1992 Strictly Ballroom ("new steps!").   I'm looking forward to his latest work interpreting F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.

Found: a Canadian TV host George Stroumboulopoulos, who can't sit still, physically or mentally.  Last week's interview appeared on CBC's book channel: http://www.cbc.ca/books/2013/05/baz-luhrmann-on-adapting-the-great-gatsby.html.
