The Bride Wore Black
Cornell Woolrich
An amazing bit of ephemera: A letter from @CornellWoolrich to his Hollywood agent, the legendary H.N. "Swanie" Swanson, re: his novel THE BRIDE WORE BLACK, dated 6/5/40. It took 28 years for a film of it to be made, but CW had dozens of other adaptations in the interim. https://t.co/j3zldDYotm

Elmore Leonard
Doing a major @ElmoreLeonard re-read, and always amused by his references to other movies and books. This from 1996's OUT OF SIGHT, a conversation between Karen Sisco and her father while they're watching TV, and a classic moment from 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. https://t.co/B6AO7La1on

Dead Skip: A Dka File Novel
Joe Gores
Tracked down a copy of Joe Gores' 1972 novel DEAD SKIP, mainly for this bit of Richard Stark/Donald E. Westlake cross-over. The same scene – albeit from Parker's perspective – appears in Stark's PLUNDER SQUAD, published the same year by the same publisher (Random House). https://t.co/7u6TQRQKCv
