COOLER THAN COOL The Life and Work of Elmore Leonard

Jason Culp delivers a top-notch narration of this entertaining biography of writer Elmore Leonard. Culp's relaxed pacing and acting chops come in handy when he delivers excerpts from Leonard's work and when he quotes the myriad sources for the bio. There's a wealth of information on Leonard's private life, including significant events like his battle with alcohol, as well as more trivial details, such as how his kids would eavesdrop on his phone calls with Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. Fans will love Kushins's work, and so will those pursuing a writing career. And don't skip the book's postscript. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2025]
