EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS In Kluge’s own words, Eddie and the Cruisers is “a story about the things you don’t forget, about songs that come to mind unbidden, about youthful dreams joined but not erased by older perspectives, about early friendships and old love, about the promises we make and keep and break, to ourselves and to others. It’s about parts of our lives that die down but don’t die out.” * Arlene and Martin Davidson adapted the story for film in 1983. * Rights Information Publisher: Viking, Hardcover (October 10, 1980) Overlook, Paperback (October 15, 2008) Territory: All rights reserved Rights Available: Translation; Live musical stage; TV Reviews: "How many ways can I recommend what ought to be a permanent resident of the modern canon? I'll stick to one: I was browsing in an independent bookstore and thought I'd read the first chapter. I ended up storming through the first 2/3rds before I had to leave, buying in haste and in a cranky and foul state because I couldn't finish it up until later that night. The writing is pitched perfectly and the pacing is sublime, but most of all, it puts in your head the kind of music that makes you want to rise up and do something amazing with your life." - Sarah Weinman (one of her Picks of the Week) Blurbs: Purchase at Amazon.com
