Re: RARA-AVIS: Lawrence Block & Pulp Erotica

Hi Mark-- All of the names you cite with the exception of Crowley & Evans (never heard of those before, but that might be my ignorance) are confirmed Block bylines. A few of them (Dexter, Shaw, Lord) also function as house names at Greenleaf, & so are not all Block (the reason they also appear for Midwood has to to with SMLA's "black box"--these were two BIG pulp erotica houses, & SM seems to have used them partly due to their ability to handle volume. (Check out Earl Kemp's eZine "eI" & Feral House's "Sin-A-Rama" for more details.) A bookseller on ABE seems to think "Gary Corbin" is Block; he is not. Hope this helps! Rob

            I mentioned in passing that I will be going down to the Library of

Congress later this month to look up some Block pseudonyms.

I've got a list of names I've checked before (several are confirmed by

him, the rest are pretty certain):

Chip Harrison

Jill Emerson

Sheldon Lord

Paul Kavanagh

Liz Crowley

John Warren Wells

I've got a few more I've seen tossed around since then:

John Dexter

Andrew Shaw

Dr. Benjamin Morse

Lesley Evans

So here's my question: I'd appreciate any additional names I should

check. Or specific titles. I've learned from past experience that they

are not always cross indexed.

So please send me any possibilities in the next two weeks or so before I

have the time to get there during a weekday (Copyright Card Catalog is

only open during the day on weekdays).

Mark
