Book Chapter
Elmore Leonard
2008
Overview
When Elmore Leonard turned his satiric sights on the film industry in 1990 withGet Shorty, a full forty years after he had published his first novel, it came as no surprise. Many of his novels had been made into films and, by his own admission, Leonard has been writing novels with the movies in mind for quite some time. He has also been referencing film history in his novels for just as long. Leonard began as a writer of Western pulp stories in the fifties and left his copywriting job once he had sold enough to support his family.
