This Book analyzes the works of Elmore Leonard, focusing on his concept of "cool" and its development throughout his career. The author traces Leonard's stylistic evolution, from his early Westerns to his later crime fiction, exploring how his writing reflects his personal experiences and evolving understanding of authenticity. The analysis examines Leonard's use of free indirect discourse, point of view, and character development, highlighting the recurring themes of apprenticeship, mentorship, and the tension between childish selfishness and childlike openness. The study also considers the portrayal of gender and race in Leonard's novels, and how they reflect societal changes.
