Barry Gifford has been called a master of the dark side of American reality. Wild at Heart, his novel about two sex-driven, star-crossed protagonists on the road, was adapted in film by director David Lynch. In 2006 he was awarded the Christopher Isherwood Foundation Prize for Fiction. Recent work includes The Cavalry Charges: Writings on Books, Film and Music (2007); Sailor and Lula, an omnibus featuring his characters from Wild at Heart; and Sad Stories of the Death of Kings, a novel (both 2010).
