![]() ![]() My two favorite writers who worked in genre, Elmore Leonard and Dick Francis (or rather his wife, who is said to have written the books), had a similar but different hero at the heart of many of my favorite works. When I was young, there were mystery authors I followed, and I still pull them out of my arsenal on occasion.īut the truth is that many of the authors I did like did not write series, at least not until towards the end of their writing cycle, when the push from commercial forces was just too strong not to. ![]() Readers should know by now that I am not the kind of person who discovers and author and zips through their entire oeuvre, at least not at my age. ![]() Whenever we have a series author, I always have to decide whether I start at the beginning or just jump right into the newest volume and hope for the best. One thing I always have to note to newcomers is that Joseph Kanon doesn't write series. I wasn't planning to write a post specifically about Joseph Kanon's visit for Leaving Berlin on Wednesday, May 11 (7 pm, at Boswell), but I find that I have so much to say every time I talk about the book and author, that I find myself actually wanting to pull up a mouse and start rambling. ![]()
