Charlie Martz and Other Stories LP: The Unpublished Stories
Charlie Martz and Other Stories LP: The Unpublished Stories | Elmore Leonard
2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
A highly entertaining collection of never-before-seen stories and several previously published pieces from the bestselling master of crime fiction Elmore LeonardMarked by his unmistakable humor and grit, the stories in this collection produced early in his career, when he was making his name particularly with westerns reveal a writer in transition. In these tales Leonard explores new voices and locations, from the bars of small border towns in New Mexico to the seedy clubs of Detroit. Devoted Leonard aficionados and fans new to his fiction will marvel at these early works that reveal a developing artist on the cusp of greatness."

Before Raylan Givens, there were men like Charlie Martz. Charlie only appears in two of the stories in this collection, but this book shows the evolution of a master. Most of these were written long before Elmore Leonard became the king of crime fiction, just before he found his strong, spare, Hemingway-esque voice. It‘s a rare treat to watch a master begin to grow into himself.

"26. Short Stories." Just a few of the collections of short stories I could quickly get my hands on, from all different genres and some of my favorite authors. #30daysofreadathon #countdownfrom30 #shortstories #elmoreleonard #timobrien #fscottfitzgerald #robertisenberg
