This review is from: Taxi Driver (Paperback)
This is a very interesting book; its written in a slangy, stream of consciousness style that effectively captures the fractured mind of Travis Bickle. The whole book has a hypnotic, flowing rhythm not unlike the visuals for the film. Most "novelizations" are crude and obvious and written with as much grace and style as the phone book but Richard Elman's adaptation of Paul Schrader's screenplay for TAXI DRIVER genuinely qualifies as post-modern literature. Read this book and see for yourself. It has an expressionistic street-level sense of foreboding and doom that reminds me of some of the short stories of Andrew Vachss.
