David Bell:
<< Along the same lines, are there any authors who
write hard-boiled westerns? I know Leonard has written them,
and Charles Willeford wrote one. Anyone else?>>
Several, off the top of my head. Max Brand, Frank Gruber,
Merle Constiner, Loren Estleman, and last, one of the best:
Bill Crider, our resident Human Encyclopedia. Could Zane Grey
be considered hardboiled?
The great Erle Stanley Gardner also wrote westerns
(stories; I don't know if there are novels).
I am sure there are lots more I'm forgetting, and even more
that I don't know about. Sure enough, I just remembered
Cormac McCarthy (no introduction needed, I hope).
