''The Harder They Come'' is a novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle published in March 2015. It is loosely based on events in the life of Aaron Bassler, who, like Adam Stensen in the novel, was for 36 days in 2011 the subject of a manhunt in Mendocino County, California.〔''See'' Bassler, James (October 2011) ("Another Plea for Help." ) mentalillnesspolicy.org, re-printed from the ''Fort Bragg Advocate.'' (Retrieved 4-28-2015.) Like Adam Stensen in the novel, Aaron Bassler murdered two people in Mendocino County, attacked the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco, and crashed his truck into some tennis courts at a middle school.〕 == Plot == ''The Harder They Come'' follows the unfolding relationship between Sten Stensen, his son Adam and Adam's girlfriend Sara Hovarty Jennings in modern-day Northern California. Sten, an aging Vietnam veteran, desperately tries to help his schizophrenic son as his illness worsens, ultimately leading to Adam shooting two people and later going underground with right-wing anarchist Sara to avoid arrest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.harpercollins.com/9780062349378/the-harder-they-come )〕 == Praise== Michiko Kakutani of the ''New York Times'' called ''The Harder They Come'' "stunning" and "a masterly — and arresting — piece of storytelling, arguably Mr. Boyle’s most powerful, kinetic novel yet". Kakutani continues, ''The Harder They Come'' reaffirms Boyle's "fascination with characters who pit themselves against their neighbors, the system and nature; freedom as both a founding principle of America — and an invitation to rebellion and self-indulgence; and the dark fallout of ideological certainty and obsession."〔
