A $1,000 read

Crazy Heart, novelist Thomas Cobb’s book about a beat-up country troubadour, took 20 years to make it to the big screen. In the lead-up to the Academy Awards, where the movie version of his work is up for three Oscars, I talked with Cobb about his protagonist Bad Blake, the steady descent of country music, and how much people are willing to pay for a first-edition copy of Crazy Heart.
