@BrettWLovell @ThatJustinLee @jordan_harper I have Everybody Knows on my tbr pile, but not The Last King Of California. Need to get that. I’ve been buying prison cookbooks, so I need some real reading in my life.

Very late to the party on this one, but what a great collection of short stories. Elmore Leonard meets Raymond Carver is not hype. Each one is a gem. Gotta read the novels now.@todgoldberg https://t.co/ahCMtN1OK2
