Hopscotch (novel)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the novel by Julio Cortázar translated into English as Hopscotch, see Hopscotch (Julio Cortázar novel).

Hopscotch is a 1975 novel by Brian Garfield, in which a retired CIA agent invites his old agency to pursue him by writing an exposé and mailing chapters of it piecemeal to publishers. Hopscotch won the 1976 Edgar Award for Best Novel.

The novel was made into a film of the same title, with Garfield writing the screenplay. The film starred Walter Matthau. Although the novel has a dark, cynical tone, the film is a comedy, but the plot follows that of the novel fairly closely.
