  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

  • ELMORE LEONARD Anthony May
    Contrappasso Magazine Issue 2 December 2012 Editor: Matthew Asprey Poetry Editor: Theodore Ell www.contrappasso.com Published in Sydney, Australia by SYDNEY SAMIZDAT PRESS GOOD TIME CRIME: TALKING WITH ELMORE LEONARD Anthony May Back in 1991, I had the good fortune to sit down with Elmore Leonard in his Michigan home during the hot summer and lead up to the fourth of July celebrations that would be the first since Operation Desert Storm, quite a big thing around Detroit. I was there to talk to him about his books but he is an intelligent man and sees the connections in things so the conversation moved around. He had just finished the manuscript of Rum Punch and maybe he felt like a chat. In the end we spent quite a few hours together over three days trying to make some connections across the stories, books and films that comprise his long career. He was very generous with his time and opinions and I remain extremely grateful for the access and the insight. A couple of years later, when he was in Sydney, we sat down again and continued the conversation. The interviews that follow record those conversations and, hopefully, give another way into the books that have delighted so many. The book that was about to come out that summer was Maximum Bob, the story that introduced characters like Judge Bob Gibbs’ wife, who channels a black slave girl who had died one hundred and thirty years before. In the books leading up to this, he had begun to foreground 3 4 ANTHONY MAY characters who were free and loose in their own way and in ways that were not just due to their involvement in crime.

TEMI, INNOVAZIONI E RELIGIONE NELL’OPERA DI ELMORE LEONARD Tesi di Dottorato di: Giulio SEGATO Matr. Nº 4411571 Anno Accademico 2016/2017 3 4 Abstract (Versione italiana) Il giudizio di molti critici e biografi nei confronti di Elmore Leonard è stato tanto positivo quanto un po’ superficiale: è uno dei più validi scrittori di crime fiction americani grazie alla sua particolare ‘prosa cinematografica’ e al suo orecchio per i dialoghi dei personaggi. Credo che invece nelle narrazioni di Leonard ci siano molti altri aspetti degni d’interesse che il mio lavoro cercherà di indagare. Prima di scrivere ‘romanzi del crimine’ (dal 1969, con la pubblicazione di The Big Bounce) Leonard si era specializzato in racconti e romanzi western con cui sperimentò la sua distintiva tecnica narrativa basta sul discorso indiretto libero e altre innovazioni tematiche. Questa tesi esamina principalmente tre caratteristiche fondamentali dell’opera di Leonard. Anzitutto, nei suoi libri non c’è mai una vera e propria indagine. I lettori sanno già dalle prime pagine chi è il colpevole del crimine e il detective stesso lo scopre poco dopo.
