Is /lit/ a fan of Elmore Leonard? I want to read some of his stuff having watched Justified, which was based on his stories. The show was surprisingly good for a cable TV series, much of the dialogue really struck me and made me think, there's no way some script writer thought of that, it's too polished and too funny too effectively, it has to be adapted from some real source material made by a real writer. I'm a from New York and was impressed as hell by these western characters, they deal with this theme of a deep manliness that is so rare and captivating in a modern landscape that takes it for granted, that's 'past' such things. So Anyone have some recommendations/experience to offer? Hoping not to go into this blind.
