Hunting Buffalo with Bent Nails Audiobook Libro.fm

Description

While he is probably best known as a novelist and shortstory writer Lawrence Block has produced a rich trove of nonfiction over the course of a sixtyyear career

Over the years Block has written extensively for magazines and periodicals Generally Speaking collects his philatelic columns from Linns Stamp News while his extensive observations of crime fiction along with personal glimpses of some of its foremost practitioners have won wide acclaim in book form as The Crime of Our Lives Hunting Buffalo With Bent Nails is what hes got left over

The title piece originally published in American Heritage recounts the ongoing adventure Block and his wife undertook crisscrossing the United States and parts of Canada in their quixotic and exotic quest to find every village hamlet and wide place in the road named Buffalo Other travel tales share space with a remembrance of his mother odes to New York a disquisition on pen names and book tours and well no end of bent nails not worth straightening Where else will you find Raymond Chandler and the Brasher Doubloon an assessment of that compelling writer from a numismatic standpoint Where else can you hear about Blocks collection of old subway cars Highly recommended
