I also enjoyed Leonard's recent short story collection. Great
comment, MrT, on out-Cheevering Cheever. That is probably my
favorite story in the bunch.
Leonard also has a great short story in a recent book I read
called (I think) The McSweeneys Anthology of Thrilling Tales.
Leonard's thrilling tale is titled "How Carlos Webster
Changed His Name to Carl and Became a Famous Oklahoma
Lawman." Leonard's dry humor is always a treat.
Chris Offut is another fine and sometimes hardboiled writer
discussed on RA with a story in this collection. Offut's
story is not hardboiled, but it is fun to read.
