Writing & Other Blood Sports by Charles Willeford
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.4 MB, Digitized
Overview: This is one that Willeford fans have been pining for years — his collected essays on a wide range of subjects, but focusing primarily on literary criticism. This volume includes the full text of the 1987 limited edition New Forms of Ugly: The Immobilized Hero in Modern Fiction, articles on Chester Himes, John D. MacDonald, Jim Tully, Henry Miller, Dashiell Hammett et. al., plus unclassifiable pieces like “Why Write for Television?” “Running Away,” “Hats,” and others. The collection was put together by Betsy Willeford, and is a wonderful tribute to a guy “who found a way out” that left him here to enjoy things as much as be possible and for us to enjoy his views on our common plight. Truly a book for any thinking person.
