      • Wild at Heart: The Story of Sailor and Lula is a 1990 novel by Barry Gifford.


      Critical reception


      Publishers Weekly wrote: "In the visual equivalent of sound bites, novelist and poet Gifford ... cuts to the heart with sharply focused shots of young lovers on the lam." Kirkus Reviews wrote that "Gifford's South is ersatz, tarred up with Forget-Me-Not Cafes and Dixie beer, his Romeo and Juliet more treacly than tragic."


      Series


      Wild at Heart begins the adventures of two sex-driven, star-crossed protagonists, Sailor and Lula, on the road in the American South.
      It is followed by:

      The novel was adapted to the film Wild At Heart (1990) written and directed by David Lynch and starring Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern and Willem Dafoe. The adaptation won the Palme d'Or, the highest honour at the Cannes Film Festival. The success of the film boosted interest in Gifford's novels.
