Charles Willeford

4.9/5 (17890 ratings)

Description:Charles Willeford was a child of the Depression era, one of thousands who drifted across the Dust Bowl of America riding the freight trains. That experience, combined with twenty years spent in and out of the armed forces, and the most colourful of lives afterwards, gave him more than enough to fuel his deeply authentic hard-boiled fiction.The High Priest of California is his first novel, and, like Pick-Up and Wild Wives, is not pulp fiction, but almost satirises that genre. The humour is raunchy and vaguely bad-tempered, but the writing is never pretentious. The stories are not lurid; rather, they are skilfully crafted tales of men and women responding to their individual circumstances, whether purely for their own gain, or driven by sheer force of hardship.'One of our most skilled, interesting, accomplished and productive writers' - Washington PostWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
