  • 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.

But there’s a major score waiting for him in Detroit, and a shotgun-wielding marshal isn’t going to stop Foley from getting it.Neither counted on sharing a cramped car trunk—or on a sizzling chemistry that’s working overtime. As soon as Sisco escapes, Foley is already missing her.Sisco can’t forget Foley either—and she isn’t about to let him go. Too bad the next time their paths cross, it’s going to be about business, not pleasure. Never watch a movie before reading the book except with Valdez is Coming.

In his powerful foray into dramatic work as a feature director, PETER FARRELLY helms the film, inspired by a true friendship that transcended race, class and societal constraints of the early 1960s. When Frank Anthony Vallelonga, aka Tony Lip (Mortensen), a New York City bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in The Bronx, is hired to drive and protect Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on The Green Book — a travel guide to safe lodging, dining and business options for African Americans during the era of segregation and Jim Crow laws — to steer them to places where Shirley will not be refused service, humiliated, or threatened with violence. Set against the backdrop of a country grappling with the valor and volatility of the Civil Rights Movement, two men will be confronted with racism and danger, and be comforted by generosity, kindness and humor.

  • Holding out for a Female Hero: the Visual and Narrative Representation of the Female Fbi Agent in Hollywood Psychological Thrillers from 1991-2008
    HOLDING OUT FOR A FEMALE HERO: THE VISUAL AND NARRATIVE REPRESENTATION OF THE FEMALE FBI AGENT IN HOLLYWOOD PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS FROM 1991-2008 Sarah Lafferty A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: MASTER OF ARTS MAY 2009 Committee: Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Esther Clinton ii ABSTRACT Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor This thesis analyzes the visual and narrative representation of female FBI agents and male serial killers in the Hollywood films, Silence of the Lambs (1991), Hannibal (2001), Taking Lives (2004), and Untraceable (2008). It explores how character roles and narrative functions related to the hero character type change over time. The films are analyzed through a textual analysis using Proppian formalism, structural, narratology, genre, and gender theories. Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal offer the groundwork of the female FBI agent in the rookie figure of Clarice Starling. Taking Lives, the first example in a thriller genre post-Clarice Starling, offers an agent, Illeana Scott, who is depicted as the next step, the young career woman with more agency than Starling. Jennifer Marsh, in Untraceable, provides a character encompassing a combination of the more positive qualities, and is an established female hero. Beginning with Silence of the Lambs and ending with Untraceable, narrative functions and positioning moves the female FBI agents into the role of the female hero. The definition of hero, as the author defined it, is based in narrative structure with a focus on the importance of the ultimate self-rescue. It is stripped of the character’s moral standings and decisions, as the author looked at the function of the character type and not the overall personality and psychological makeup of the figure.
