William Hjortsberg (1941โ2017) was an acclaimed author of novels and screenplays. Born in New York City, Hjortsbergโs first success came with Alp (1969), an offbeat story of an Alpine skiing village, which Hjortsbergโs friend Thomas McGuane called, โquite possibly the finest comic novel written in America.โ In the 1970s, Hjortsberg wrote two science fiction novels, Gray Matters (1971) and Symbiography (1973), as well as Toro! Toro! Toro! (1974), a comic jab at the macho world of bullfighting. His best-known work is Falling Angel (1978), a hard-boiled occult mystery. In 1987 the book was adapted into a film titled Angel Heart, which starred Robert De Niro and Mickey Rourke. Hjortsbergโs work also includes Jubilee Hitchhiker (2012), a biography of Richard Brautigan, American writer and voice of 1960s counterculture.
