Whether you are a fan of Matt Scudder or Bernie Rhodenbarr, whether you know Lawrence Block as the best living writer about New York or the most versatile of crime novelists, this is the book you have been waiting for. Block talks to mystery connoisseur Ernie Bulow about his apprenticeship writing for pulp magazines and working at a leading literary agency, about his love of New York and his fondness for travel. He gives brief, tantalizing glimpses into his literary and personal ups and downs. His wit and his insights into life and literature will captivate not just Block's many fans but anyone interested in the literary life. Included in this book are Block's first published short story, four previously uncollected essays, and a Block bibliography.
amazing what can get published
| Customer Rating: | | below chats up block - surely a magazine article but a book! there are some intersting tidbits along the lines of "do you write in your underwear" but for real understanding of block the reader must search elsewhere. below even shows lack of knowledge of some book contentsperhaps it's not below's failt. the genre should never have been invented. block even comments on this in the course of the interview but below doesn't even pick up on it. as a source of blockian humor ok. |
Candid conversations with mystery's grandmaster
| Customer Rating: | | Since 1958, Lawrence Block has been producing some of the best work in the mystery field: searing private eye novels, effervescent capers, and fascinating plunges into the depths of the criminal mind, all written in a unique and irresistable voice. In AFTER HOURS, Block submits to a series of intimate interviews about his characters and themes, his life, and his craft. From anecdotes about the vanished world of pulp mystery publishing to serious thoughts about how the best mystery novels transcend the genre, Block offers much that will be of interest to his readers. Also included in the book are a complete Block bibliography and the first reprinting in 40 years of Block's first short story, "You Can't Lose." AFTER HOURS may not be compelling for the casual Block reader, but for the hardcore fan it is a must. |
