Well worth reading, if you can get your hands on it, is
Willeford's COCKFIGHTER JOURNAL, which documents his
experience working with Roger Corman and Monte Hellman on the
film version of his book. It's a slim volume put out in a
limited edition, but it along with his privately printed
memoir A GUIDE FOR THE UNDEHEMORRHOIDED are two of the jewels
in my collection.
Also, the movie version of Cockfighter, starring Warren Oates
as the mute narrator, is well worth seeing. And it's got
Willeford himself in a small role.
