I always thought that as much as I love 'White Jazz,' it became almost unfilmable at some point, because there are so many strands, so much, and it became so psychotic... that's what made it such a great book, but those things would not carry over into the filmic realm, I thought, with ease. Joe Carnahan

I hope for so much from every book I read. And time and again, I find myself disappointed.
