Crossroads of the Soul - Joe Connolly, book Odysseas editions

⚫ The book "Bringing Out the Dead" (original title: Σταυροδρόμια της ψυχής) is the first and most recognized novel by American author Joe Connelly. It was published in 1998 and in Greece, it was released in 1999 by Odysseas Publications, translated by Vasilis Manousakis.

📝 Plot & Characters: The work has strong autobiographical elements, as the author himself worked for about a decade as an ambulance attendant in the tough neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen in New York City. The narrator is Frank Pierce, an exhausted ambulance attendant working the night shift. The book unfolds over a nightmarish 48 hours. In the "devilish" night of New York City, Frank faces drug addicts, gunshot victims, robberies, and extreme human misery. The protagonist, haunted by the ghosts of the people he could not save, gradually descends into madness, misunderstanding, and an existential crisis.

🎬 The book made a huge impact and immediately caught Hollywood's attention. In 1999, it was adapted into a film of the same title ("Bringing Out the Dead" / Σταυροδρόμια της Ψυχής): Directed by Martin Scorsese. Screenplay by Paul Schrader. Starring Nicolas Cage as Frank.
