The one that comes to my mind straight away is BUFFALO
SOLDIERS by Robert O'Connor (I think that's the author's
name, haven't got my copy to hand, as usual). It's a black
comedy about a small time heroin dealer who is a US soldier
based in Germany. It is very black & very funny, IMO. I
did hear something about a "major" film (aren't they all
major films, at least until they come out?) being made of it
but I haven't heard anything recently.
