Budd Schulberg s latest novel takes us on a terrifying jour-

ney. It is the story of a brilliant, violent man who makes one

deal too many in his ruthless, exilarating drive to control

everything on wheels, aud finally on the seas and in the air,

a new kind of dictator who goes after nothing less thari

everything that moves.

The final chapters, moving as swiftly and inexorably as

the antihero Joey Hopper hiinself, reveal the subtle powers

of tile "respectables" who nmy have more to say about the

destiny of America than the leaders we elect. The disap-

pearance of Joey Hopper combines realistic violence with

an Americma way of life-and death-in taut, spare prose

that will not be forgotten.

EVEnYTIIINe THAT MOVES exemplifies Schulberg s unique

method, comhining contemporary insight with moral indig-

nation-dramatic suspense intertwi,~ed with a probing social

conscience, the elements that made classics of What Makes

Sammy Run, The Harder They Fall, and On the Waterfront.
