(This recording contains explicit content.) Elmore Leonard has been compared to prolific writers such as Balzac, Dostoevsky, and Dickens, but his writing, in fact, is entirely and entertainingly unique. A recipient of the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America, Leonard is the author of more than three dozen critically acclaimed bestsellers, including Killshot, Glitz, The Hot Kid, and Up in Honey’s Room. Many of his books and stories have been made into movies, including Get Shorty, Three-Ten to Yuma, and Out of Sight.
