ABSTRACT
Rudolph Wurlitzer’s novels have moved a generation of writers (and rockers). He’s brought his themes and dreams to the screen, writing scripts for memorable movies such as Two Lane Blacktop, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Little Buddha, Walker, and Candy Mountain (which he co-directed with Robert Frank). His latest novel, The Drop Edge of Yonder, is a book (as per Patti Smith) “you watch as you read, cast the film as you reread, and create a sequel as you sleep.” Scott Spencer has wondered at Yonder too: “I have never read anything like it. Every page transports the reader from the cerebral to the visceral and back again, until you start to feel that in the end there is no difference between the two.”
