  • 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.

  • Item More Personal, More Unique, And, Therefore More Representative of the Experience of the Book Itself
    Q&B Quill & Brush (301) 874-3200 Fax: (301)874-0824 E-mail: [email protected] Home Page: http://www.qbbooks.com A dear friend of ours, who is herself an author, once asked, “But why do these people want me to sign their books?” I didn’t have a ready answer, but have reflected on the question ever since. Why Signed Books? Reading is pure pleasure, and we tend to develop affection for the people who bring us such pleasure. Even when we discuss books for a living, or in a book club, or with our spouses or co- workers, reading is still a very personal, solo pursuit. For most collectors, a signature in a book is one way to make a mass-produced item more personal, more unique, and, therefore more representative of the experience of the book itself. Few of us have the opportunity to meet the authors we love face-to-face, but a book signed by an author is often the next best thing—it brings us that much closer to the author, proof positive that they have held it in their own hands. Of course, for others, there is a cost analysis, a running thought-process that goes something like this: “If I’m going to invest in a book, I might as well buy a first edition, and if I’m going to invest in a first edition, I might as well buy a signed copy.” In other words we want the best possible copy—if nothing else, it is at least one way to hedge the bet that the book will go up in value, or, nowadays, retain its value.

  • “Raylan Givens” with an Expansive List of Diverse Film And
    TIMOTHY OLYPHANT “Raylan Givens” With an expansive list of diverse film and television credits, Timothy Olyphant is known for his poignant roles in both dramas and comedies. He most recently wrapped Breck Eisner’s remake of the horror classic The Crazies, which revolves around a small town beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a secret biological weapon into the water supply. Olyphant stars as the town sheriff. Overture Films recently released this film in February 2010. This past year, Timothy starred opposite Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich in David Twohy’s A Perfect Getaway for Relativity Media, which centers around two couples who, on a Hawaiian vacation, discover that psychopaths are stalking and murdering tourists on the islands. He also stars in Gary Yates’ independent feature High Life, a comedy about four hapless junkies who plan to rob a bank. The film premiered at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival. In 2007, Olyphant starred in 20th Century Fox’s Hitman and Live Free Die Hard. Hitman, based on the popular video game and directed by Xavier Gans, centers around “Agent 47” (Olyphant), who realizes he’s being pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military as he treks across Eastern Europe. In Live Free Die Hard, directed by Len Wiseman, Olyphant played “Thomas Gabriel,” an internet-based terrorist who John McClaine (Bruce Willis) is trying to stop from systematically shutting down the United States. Olyphant co-starred with Elisha Cuthbert and Emile Hirsch in 20th Century Fox’s The Girl Next Door. Olyphant brilliantly portrayed “Kelly,” the porn producer and ex-boyfriend of “Danielle” (Cuthbert), who tries to convince her to come back to the business.

  • 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.
