(All that said, Chapter and Verse is essential only for Springsteen completists-do casual Boss fans even exist?-and isn’t crucial to the enjoyment of reading Born to Run.) The sonic evolution is a story presently more cleanly, with no traces of the growing pains and long dark nights of the soul Springsteen undertook in order to keep pushing himself as a singer-songwriter. The remainder of the 18-track album simply provides familiar signposts for the ascent of Springsteen and the E Street Band, skipping across his catalog to arrive at 2012’s Wrecking Ball (an album Springsteen feels was unfairly overlooked upon its initial release). ![]() ![]() Embodying the spirit of the underdog, this is a moving tale of strength, determination, and spiritual grit.

His latest film, Danza de la Realidad (2013), an adaptation of his autobiography, debuted at Cannes last month and, based on reviews, it’s a vital addition to his canon of film marvels. Jodorowsky is known primarily as a filmmaker, chiefly for the early 1970s psychedelic masterpieces El Topo (1970) and The Holy Mountain (1973). The Chilean Alejandro Jodorowsky belongs in that company. It’s only a small number of polymaths - Marguerite Duras, Jean Cocteau, and Jean Genet among them - whose talents have been evenly spread between cinema and the page (not to mention the stage). A few novelists have directed films, but generally this has proven a diversion, and the only reason on earth to ever cite Michael Crichton, Norman Mailer, and Susan Sontag in the same sentence. ![]() ![]() ![]() But the author-director, producing work for the page and the screen?
