Seller's Description:
No Jacket. Gainesville. 2012. University Press of Florida. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780813044064. 6 x 9. Original paperback. 272 pages. paperback. keywords: Mystery America Pulp Noir Florida. DESCRIPTION-PULP FICTION FROM A MASTER OF 1950S NOIR. Gil Brewer (1922–1983), a second-generation noir writer, followed in the footsteps of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain. He spent most of his life in the Tampa Bay area, where he also set most of his fiction. Like his characters, he was a victim of his own weaknesses, dying as a result of the alcoholism that plagued his whole adult life. Brewer published prolifically under various pseudonyms and in a variety of niche genres including mystery, romance, and pornography. Over the course of his career, he published more than 100 short and 50 novels, including A Taste for Sin, Satan Is a Woman, and The Girl from Hateville. He is known for his everyday characters-often underdogs, frequently downtrodden, and desperate to get ahead in life-who ultimately succumb to their own weaknesses and desires. Brewer revolutionized the availability of reading-as-entertainment for the American people by helping to exploit a new market: the paperback original. Many of his novels, including the bestselling 13 French Street, have recently been reissued for a new audience. However, Redheads Die Quickly and Other is the first collection of his short fiction. Because his work was published in a large number of pulp magazines, and because he regularly didn't publish under his own name, Brewer's fans-and fans of hard-boiled noir fiction in general-have often been frustrated in their efforts to find the work of this mid-century American crime writer. David Rachels has sifted through the Brewer papers at the University of Wyoming, thumbed through thousands of publications, and tracked down rare pulp magazines on eBay to create the first-ever authoritative list of Brewer's short, with the best featured in a single volume. inventory #41259.
