Klappentext zu „Charlie Martz and Other Stories: The Unpublished Stories “
A collection of fifteen stories, eleven of which have never been previously published, from the early career of bestselling American master Elmore Leonard.Over his long and illustrious career, Elmore Leonard was recognized as one of the greatest crime writers of all time, the author of dozens of bestselling books-many adapted for the big screen-as well as a master of short fiction. A superb stylist whose crisp, tight prose crackled with trademark wit and sharp dialogue, Leonard remains the standard for crime fiction and a literary model for writers of every genre.
Marked by his unmistakable grit and humor, the stories in Charlie Martz and Other Stories-produced early in his career, when he was making his name particularly with westerns-reveal a writer in transition, exploring new voices and locations, from the bars of small-town New Mexico and Michigan to a film set in Hollywood, a hotel in Southern Spain, even a military base in Kuala Lumpur. They also introduce us to classicLeonard characters, some who recur throughout the collection, such as aging lawman Charlie Martz and weary former matador Eladio Montoya.
Devoted Leonard aficionados and fans new to his fiction will marvel at these early works that reveal an artist on the cusp of greatness.
Autoren-Porträt von Elmore Leonard
Über die genaue Anzahl von Elmore Leonards Romanen gibt es uneinheitliche Angaben. Es sind etwa so viele wie Lebensjahre: 75. Einigkeit herrscht allerdings über die Qualität. Leonard war einer der erfolgreichsten amerikanischen Autoren, und die "New York Times" nannte ihn schlicht den "größten lebenden Kriminalautor". Etliche seiner Romane wurden mit Publikums- und Kritikererfolg verfilmt, darunter "Schnappt Shorty (mit John Travolta, Gene Hackman und Danny De Vito), "Zuckerschnute" ("Out of Sight") mit George Clooney und Jennifer Lopez. Quentin Tarantinos "Jackie Brown" basiert auf "Rum Punch". Elmore Leonard war fünffacher Vater und neunfacher Großvater und lebte mit seiner zweiten Frau in Birmingham, Michigan. Im Jahr 2012 wurde er mit der National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters ausgezeichnet. Elmore Leonard verstarb 2013 im Alter von 87 Jahren.
