Representative of a new generation of American writer-directors of the 1970s, Schrader's films highlight the tension between old and new ways of telling a story and between the maintenance of commercial formulas and openness to individual expression. George Kouvaros draws on a personal interview conducted with Schrader and the director's prior commentary to trace common motivations and impulses behind such well-known films as Light Sleeper, American Gigalo, Affliction, Auto Focus, Taxi Driver, and Patty Hearst. Kouvaros reads Schraders films in terms of a number of hard-to-define issues such as melancholia, trauma, and the complex linkages of violence and guilt that bind individuals to places and each other." -- BLURBISBN: 9780252075087Contents: The Teller and The Tale: The Films of Paul Schrader -- The New Hollywood -- From Grand Rapids to Hollywood -- The Lure of Negative Thought: Tax Driver -- The Psychopath's Second Coming -- From Screenwriter to Director: Blue Collar and Hardcore -- A Man and His Room: American Gigolo -- Changelings: Cat People -- The Lure of Biography: Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters -- The Catastrophe of Identity: Light of Day and Patty Hearst -- The Paradox of Acting -- Strangers to Ourselves: Auto Focus -- A Director for Hire -- Stores That Tell Us: The Comfort of Strangers -- Lost Souls: Light Sleeper -- False Events: Affliction -- Logic of Betrayal -- Nocturnal Wanderers -- Prequels and Obsessive Loves: Dominion and Forever Mine -- "Give All to Love" -- Interview With Paul Schrader.
