From William Peter Blatty, the New York Times bestselling author of The Exorcist, comes his dark comic novel about military madness, Twinkle, Twinkle, "Killer" Kane.

After a nervous breakdown during a moon launch, astronaut Billy Cutshaw was committed to a military asylum and placed under the care of Colonel Hudson Kane. During their therapy sessions, Kane finds himself cross-examined about his beliefs on good and evil, forcing him to face the personal demons that have haunted him since his tour in Vietnam.

This story was the basis of Blatty's later expanded novel and the Golden Globe-nominated film adaptation, both titled The Ninth Configuration.

על המחבר

William Peter Blatty (1928-2017), the writer of numerous novels and screenplays, is best known for his mega-bestselling novel The Exorcist, deemed by the New York Times Book Review to be "as superior to most books of its kind as an Einstein equation is to an accountant's column of figures." An Academy Award winner for his screenplay for The Exorcist, Blatty is not only the author of one of the most terrifying novels ever written, but, paradoxically, also cowrote the screenplay for the hilarious Inspector Clouseau film, A Shot in the Dark. New York Times reviewers of his early comic novels noted, "Nobody can write funnier lines than William Peter Blatty," describing him as "a gifted virtuoso who writes like S. J. Perelman."
