Elmore Leonard: National Treasure

A quick link in honor of my dad, who looooves Elmore Leonard. Part review of E.L.'s latest novel, Road Dogs, part essay on why he is a "national treasure" from Patrick Anderson, Washington Post. Is it weird that I think Elmore is a really cool name? Like Elmo, only jazzier.

Update: My dad's response was "I go through his books the way a stoner with munchies goes through snack food." Oh, and he recommends E.L.'s westerns over his crime stories.
