The novel that inspired the highly acclaimed film directed by Gus Van Sant

Bob Hughes, the offbeat, edgy, and slightly skewed leader of a crew of traveling junkies, describes himself as â€œone of the cleverest and ringiest and most notorious dope fiend drugstore cowboys on the entire West Coast, including Alaska.â€ Bob, his wife, Diane, Rick, and Nadine have a penchant for robbing drugstores and grabbing pills and capsules to support their habit and relieve their boredom.
Â
Itâ€™s an all-too-real examination of the addictâ€™s domain: the euphoria, the paranoia, the busts, the overdoses, the haunting reality of trying to survive your own world. But James Fogleâ€”who based this extraordinary novel on his own experiences, and who spent thirty-five years of his life in prisonâ€”has turned their lives into something darkly comic.
Â
Set in Portland, Oregon, in the early 1970s, Drugstore Cowboy is a resonating evocation of life at the bottom, and yet, by portraying his characters without judgment or glamor, Fogle has illuminated them. His debut novel is a singular work of contemporary fiction.
