Rudolph Wurlitzer is the screenwriter of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and Two-Lane Blacktop. He is also the author of the novels Flats, Nog, Quake, and The Drop Edge of Yonder, and the travel diary Hard Travel to Sacred Places. He lives in Hudson, New York.
"Slow Fade comes out of the space between real life and the movies
and closes it up for good. A great book: beautiful, funny, and
dangerous." --Michael Herr, screenwriter, Full Metal Jacket
"Slow Fade may be the most traditional of Wurlitzer's novels, and
the time-honored pleasures of the novel are here in abundance: a
twisting and turning story about fathers and sons, power and
poverty, violence and fate. Some may read it as a 'roman a clef'
about certain notorious Hollywood players, but that seems rather
secondary to me. Wurlitzer has fashioned a rare and wonderful
thing--a deeply spiritual novel, without one whiff of incense or
candle wax." --Scott Spencer, author, Endless Love and Waking the
Dead
"If you splice Rudy Wurlitzer's Slow Fade to his other four novels,
they become a beautiful quintet, never losing their miraculous
beat." --Robert Downey, director, Hugo Pool and Putney Swope
"The return of Slow Fade is a fine thing. It's Rudy Wurlitzer's
greatest work of fiction . . . and one of the best American books
there is." --Alex Cox, director, Repo Man and Sid & Nancy
