By Trent Big news from Hard Case Crime (via Facebook): Now it can be told: Donald E. Westlake’s final unpublished novel — a real gem, sweet and sharp and touching and funny — is coming in February. This is exciting news. As it happens, the unpublished Call Me a Cab was briefly touched upon […] Posted by Trent on August 4th, 2021 | Tags: Call Me a Cab, Donald Westlake, Hard Case Crime, Ice | Category: Hard Case Crime, Other Westlake Books, Westlake Short Stories | 4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Nick Jones
NB: A version of this post also appears on Existential Ennui. Our next Westlake Score, which again came from the recent London Paperback & Pulp Bookfair, is that rarest of things in the Donald E. Westlake bibliography: a short story collection. It’s a 1973 first paperback printing of The Curious Facts Preceding […] Posted by Nick Jones on November 12th, 2012 | Tags: Donald Westlake | Category: Westlake Short Stories | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) By Nick Jones
This, I’m sure we’ll all be relieved to hear, will be my final Violent World of Parker post for the year. Fear not, however (or, possibly, fear greatly): there’s plenty more to come from me in the new year, not just on Westlake but also on some other writers whose work intersects […] Posted by Nick Jones on December 21st, 2011 | Tags: Analog Science Fact & Fiction, Donald Westlake, science fiction | Category: Westlake Short Stories | 3 comments - (Comments are closed) By Nick Jones I actually have Violent World of Parker reader Sandra Bond to thank for this latest post—or, more accurately, couple of posts: there’s a lot to cover here, so it’ll be better if I split it into two missives. Sandra emailed me after I’d finished my second run of reviews of Westlake’s SF stories to […] Posted by Nick Jones on December 14th, 2011 | Tags: Analog Science Fact & Fiction, science fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction | Category: Westlake Short Stories | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) By Nick Jones
Rounding off this intermittent series of posts on Donald E. Westlake’s early-1960s science fiction stories, I’ve a particularly pithy tale which Westlake was the co-writer of, rather than the sole author. And of all the SF stories I’ve been reviewing in this series and the previous series, I think this might just […] Posted by Nick Jones on September 26th, 2011 | Tags: Donald Westlake, science fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction | Category: Westlake Short Stories | Comments are closed By Nick Jones
After a slightly-longer-than-anticipated John le Carré-shaped diversion, it’s back to the short stories written by Donald E. Westlake for various science fiction magazines in the early 1960s. And whereas the previous Westlake SF short (if you can cast your mind back that far) involved teleportation, this next story centers on… telepathy… “The […] Posted by Nick Jones on September 20th, 2011 | Tags: Donald Westlake, science fiction | Category: Westlake Short Stories | 4 comments - (Comments are closed) By Nick Jones
On we go with Donald E. Westlake’s science fiction magazine stories; and like the last SF story I wrote about, “They Also Serve,” this one also appeared in Analog Science Fact & Fiction, and has similarly never been reprinted since (and it’s not even available via Project Gutenberg). But there the parallels […] Posted by Nick Jones on September 5th, 2011 | Tags: Analog Science Fact & Fiction, Donald Westlake, science fiction | Category: Westlake Short Stories | Comments are closed By Nick Jones
As promised (or perhaps threatened—and while I’m linking to that last post, let me just quickly point out that Lawrence Block—yes, Lawrence Block—took the time to comment on it, a turn of events as pleasantly surprising as it is humbling), this week I’m returning to the short stories Donald E. Westlake wrote […] Posted by Nick Jones on August 30th, 2011 | Tags: Analog Science Fact & Fiction, Donald Westlake, science fiction, They Also Serve | Category: Westlake Short Stories | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) By Trent
