“Autumn at the Automat” by Lawrence Block on the Title 18: Word Crimes Podcast
Lawrence Block is one of my literary heroes. He’s published more than 100 books, including novels about Keller, a hitman who collects stamps, about Matthews Scudder, a cop turned private investigator, and about Bernie Rhodenbarr, a gentleman burglar, among many others.
He’s a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America. He’s won the Edgar and Shamus awards four times each, the Japanese Maltese Falcon award twice, and the Nero Wolfe and Philip Marlowe awards. Among his many other recognitions is the Edward D. Hoch Memorial Golden Derringer for Lifetime Achievement in the short story.
And he rides the train whenever possible.
Lawrence Block is cool, and his writing is amazing.
