Elmore Leonard - Full Episode | TV-14

A full biography of Elmore Leonard.

Elmore Leonard, “The Dickens of Detroit,” made a name for himself as an author by writing pulp novels and advertising copy in the 1950s, but he's gone on to write such novels as “Rum Punch,” “3:10 to Yuma, “and “Get Shorty” It was the success of the movie adaptation of his novel “Hombre” that allowed him to finally give up his day job and dedicate himself to the world of hustlers, con men, pimps, and thieves that have enlivened his best works.

Like in Gone With the Wind, The Sun Also Rises after Twilight, even in a Pet Cemetary Where the Wild Things Are. But let's not be too morbid and discuss creepy things like The Satanic Verses or try to get an Interview With a Vampire from The Stranger Who Professes 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.' Going round in round like this, you may never know Where the Sidewalk Ends, and that would be unfortunate since Uncle Tom's Cabin is just around the corner...

Okay, we could go on, but we won't torture you. You get the point. Our attempt at creative writing is nothing compared to the imaginative minds of our Famous Fiction Authors Group.
