I’ve been re-reading a lot of the 70’s stuff like Unknown Man #89 and Swag and 52 Pick-up. Gregg has said that the “cult” of Elmore Leonard started around that time. I first read the books in the early 80’s when the paperbacks finally hit Canada.
I wonder if anyone else here has read these books recently? The new stuff is really good, but these books now seem so far ahead of their time in style. They hold up unbelievably well.
