Control (novel)
Control is a 1982 novel by William Goldman.
The book was a runner up on the New York Times best seller list.
Although Goldman was a noted screenwriter and many of his novels had been adapted into films there was no interest in adapting Control. Goldman later wrote the novel had "was such a neat idea for a movie. I felt sure that somebody would want to make it. It was about trying to control the future by controlling the past. There was never a phone call about Control."
