Why haven't any of your books developed into major film or television projects? Drop City seems perfect for television.
T. Coraghessan Boyle
I agree, Joy, but I do not work in the industry and will not participate. That said, many films have been made of my work, the biggest of which, in Hollywood terms, was Alan Parker's The Road to Wellville, starring Anthony Hopkins. Drop City would be ideal for a cable series, as would the new one, The Terranauts (coming in October). Right now several of my things are under option, including Budding Prospects (with Amazon) for a cable series.

Excellent book, is "The Harder They Come", and I've recommended it widely. I have 2 questions: which of your novels do you recommend I read next, and do you think the personalities and psychological makeup of the characters in "The Harder ..." are informed by current times, or would they have been basically the same people in prior times?

Two questions may be pushing my luck, but here goes: you seem like a double kind of guy. Am I right?
