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.
