While he is probably best known as a novelist and short-story writer, Lawrence Block has produced a rich trove of nonfiction over the course of a sixty-year career. His instructional books for writers are leaders in the field, and his self-described pedestrian memoir,
Step By Step,
has found a loyal audience in the running and racewalking community.
Over the years, Block has written extensively for magazines and periodicals.
Generally Speaking
collects his philatelic columns from
Linn's Stamp News,
while his extensive observations of crime fiction, along with personal glimpses of some of its foremost practitioners, have won wide acclaim in book form as
The Crime of Our Lives.
Hunting Buffalo With Bent Nails
is what he's got left over.
The title piece, originally published in
American Heritage,
recounts the ongoing adventure Block and his wife undertook, criss-crossing the United States and parts of Canada in their quixotic and exotic quest to find every "village, hamlet, and wide place in the road named Buffalo." Other travel tales share space with a remembrance of his mother, odes to New York, a disquisition on pen names and book tours, and, well, no end of bent nails not worth straightening. Where else will you find "Raymond Chandler and the Brasher Doubloon," an assessment of that compelling writer from a numismatic standpoint? Where else can you read about Block's collection of old subway cars?
Highly recommended.
