Produktbeschreibung

From Lawrence Block's introduction to WRITING DRUNK, WRITING SOBER:

"Back in 1976 I started writing my column in Writer's Digest, and the following April I got sober, and some six months later I wrote an essay for WD on the subject, which in accordance with AA traditions I published under an ad hoc pen name, Kent Hackett.

"And gave it no further thought, with the result that it never got into Terry Zobeck's bibliography of my work.

"A few weeks ago, after an email exchange with John Brady, who'd been WD's editor at the time, and remained a friend although we aren't that often in touch, I thought about those early days and remembered the Kent Hackett article. I wrote to Terry, knowing he'd have a copy of the magazine, and he sent me a scan, and I read it for the first time since I wrote it and decided I was comfortable with acknowledging it and making it once again available."

Autorenporträt

Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning mystery and suspense fiction for half a century. His newest book, pitched by his Hollywood agent as "James M. Cain on Viagra," is The Girl with the Deep Blue Eyes. His other recent novels include The Burglar Who Counted The Spoons, featuring Bernie Rhodenbarr; Hit Me, featuring philatelist and assassin Keller; and A Drop Of The Hard Stuff, featuring Matthew Scudder, brilliantly embodied by Liam Neeson in the new film, A Walk Among The Tombstones. Several of his other books have also been filmed, although not terribly well. He's well known for his books for writers, including the classic Telling Lies For Fun & Profit and Write For Your Life, and has just published a collection of his writings about the mystery genre and its practitioners, The Crime Of Our Lives. In addition to prose works, he has written episodic television (Tilt!) And the Wong Kar-wai film, My Blueberry Nights. He is a modest and humble fellow, although you would never guess as much from this biographical note.
