Elmore Leonard: "But Don't Try to Write"
Elmore Leonard, author of more than 40 novels, is renowned in the literary community. From his westerns and early novels of crime based in Detroit and South Florida, right through his complex and virtually plotless later work, Elmore Leonard dissected an America whose founding sins have continued to haunt it all the days. Leonardâs depiction of America is as real as Twainâs Hannibal, Faulknerâs Mississippi and Steinbeckâs Monterey. The new documentary ELMORE LEONARD: âBut donât try to writeâ explores the prolific authorâs legacy and his influence on generations of writers. The documentary features exclusive images and previously unseen home movie footage, family photographs, and in-depth interviews with both literary experts and those who knew him well, including colleagues, family, and childhood friends.
