So glad you asked! Have a look at the movie's logline, and a quote from the screenplay.

Where would movies be today without writers?
Despite the popularity of his "Dr. Lecter" character, and the success of "The Silence of the Lambs", author Thomas Harris rarely grants interviews. He lives a quiet, peaceful life between homes in Sag Harbor, New York and South Florida. How envious is that!
