Unpublished Elmore Leonard Stories Coming in 2015
Elmore Leonard may have died last August, but readers now have a book of new stories by the wisecracking, adverb-murdering grand old man of crime fiction to look forward to.
The British publisher Weidenfeld & Nicolson has acquired 15 unpublished early stories, most written while Leonard was working as a copywriter at a Detroit advertising agency in the 1950s. The volume will be released in the fall of 2015, with HarperCollins publishing in the United States.
The stories, set in locations from New Mexico to Malaysia and featuring some characters that recur in later works, are not the first previously unseen products of Leonard’s pen to surface since his death. In December, two unpublished stories from 1958, both set in small western towns, were released by the now-defunct digital publisher Byliner. And in September, the Library of America will publish a single-volume edition of four Leonard novels from the 1970s with some bonus material, including a scene from the typescript of “Swag” (1976) that did not appear in the published book.
When the Library of America’s plans to publish several volumes of Leonard’s work were announced in 2012, he was only one of four living writers to have dedicated volumes in that prestigious series.

これはファンならずとも乞うご期待ですね。
