Author Lawrence Block, a personal favorite here at Moby’s!, has posted to his website a short story:

unnamedA couple of months ago, a woman named Bianca emailed me from Germany. Could I write something around 700 words long for a New York guide book called 38 Hours? I could and I did, and they’ve just now sent me a copy of the book, with my effort printed, and with a terrific illustration on the page opposite. I wanted to give you a chance to read it—and, even better, to see the illustration, which you’ll be quick to see is an uncanny likeness of Our Favorite Felon. But it’s all too short and insignificant to sell you, so I figured I’d just print it here:

I don’t want to steal LB’s thunder, so you’ll have to go to his site to read the short story. While you’re there you might even sign up for his newsletter. It’s the best written newsletter in the business, I assure you. 🙂

And while you’re here, you might like to check out Moby’s! own interview with Mr. Block. Or not, could go either way, eh?

The new movie is due for release in just 5 days, and the fans have been having a bit of fun with poster for the film.

Here are a few of those, via Facebook:

lb6I have enjoyed the work of Lawrence Block for many years. From his lighter Burglar mysteries to the hard boiled stuff, to the older works just now being made available once again for new fans. Even the guy’s newsletter is always a welcome find in my email inbox.

So, it was a great moment when Mr. Block said yes to a little request for a short interview. Thanks LB.


1) Whatever becomes of Bernie Rhodenbarr? Does he ever find something he loves more than breaking and entering? 

LB: Don’t expect Bernie to change. He’ll go on being Bernie as long as I find stories to tell about him. He and Carolyn occasionally discuss this stasis, realizing that neither of them will ever find a relationship that works, that she’ll go on washing dogs and he’ll go on stealing, and that they’re fine with it. In The Burglar Who Counted the Spoons, he shoots down the notion that he’ll reform and become some sort of amateur detective. He is, I’m pleased to report, one constant in this ever-changing world.
