Description
Eine kenntnisreiche und unterhaltsame Annäherung an Amerikas Master of Crime. »Wenn's wie geschrieben klingt, schreib ich's neu.« Elmore Leonard • Assoziative Lebensgeschichte eines Kultautors • Unterhaltsames Lesebuch und Werkschau • Lebendige Krimi- und Filmgeschichte Ein lustvoller Ausflug in die Krimi- und Filmgeschichte, ein spannendes Lesebuch, eine packende Werkschau und ein assoziativer Lebensroman über einen Autor, der bis zu seinem Tod mit 87 Jahren der »coolste Hipster der Kriminalliteratur« (New York Times) war. Elmore Leonard hat 44 Romane und zahlreiche Drehbücher geschrieben. Für die TV-Serie »Justified« lieferte er die Vorlage, und viele seiner Bücher wurden verfilmt, darunter »Schnappt Shorty« mit John Travolta, »Out of Sight« mit George Clooney und Jennifer Lopez oder »Jackie Brown« von Quentin Tarantino. Für die New York Times war er der »vielleicht beste Krimiautor aller Zeiten«. Göhre und Mayer erzählen von Leonards Anfangsjahren in einer Werbeagentur, ersten Erfolgen als Westernautor, seinem Aufstieg zu einem der bestbezahlten Krimi- und Drehbuchautoren. Sie berichten von Dreharbeiten, lassen Zeitzeugen zu Wort kommen und beleuchten in Zitaten, Anekdoten, Bekenntnissen und Nacherzählungen die Romane, Filme und das Leben des Kultautors. Arrangiert wie eine große und vergnügliche Jamsession. Als Leseabenteuer. Als Lebensroman. Die Elmore-Leonard-Story.
