Forehead Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Many might not be familiar with the name, but one of his books turned into a cult classic movie that many people have enjoyed. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/10/arts/sol-yurick-novelist-dies-at-87.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f_trizzy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 One of my favorite cult classics. Oddly enough, they just added it to Netflix streaming this week. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yep. He was already cast in Taxi when they were looking to cast him in the movie. Never read the book. Going to have to do that some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The book is awesome. The same story line as the movie, but written in a much different way. I never realized until I read it that it was the retelling of the greek myth Anabasis. The Dominators (Warriors) are pretty brutal in the book. Not an easy read because of the writing style and dialogue, but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
