GO WEST, YOUNG MAN?
*******************
The novels of Elmore Leonard ("Get Shorty"), Trevanian
("The
Eiger Sanction"), and Walter Mosely ("Devil in a Blue
Dress"), fit safely into the category of mystery and
thrillers, right? Well, all three writers are expanding
their horizons westward (or futureward) in their newest
books. Leonard's "The Tonto Woman" collects several of
his
finest Western short stories, and Trevanian's "Incident
at
Twenty Mile" offers an unforgettable revision of the
formula
Western. Mosely's departure is even more radical,
however.
The author of the Easy Rawlins novels has written a
sci-fi
stunner, "Blue Light," about a mysterious beam that
transform humans into superbeings.
