Elmore Leonard: The Dickens of Detroit

Leonard’s life, his works, his place in the American literary pantheon, is the subject of Elmore Leonard: The Dickens of Detroit which is Written & Directed by John Mulholland and Produced by Richard Zampella.

Central to this new documentary, adding depth and resonance, is more than half-an-hour of never-before-seen interview footage with Elmore Leonard. Footage in which he analyzes and discusses how he started, why he wrote what he did, how he arrived at his lean, terse minimalist trademark.

Elmore Leonard influenced more writers in the past fifty years than any other author, genre hack or novelist
