This collection of forewords and afterwords, originally written to add value to his newly released e-books, is a truly enjoyable trip through Block's bibliography. You learn a little about how each book was written, a little writing advice, and plenty of entertaining anecdotes. I'd read some before in his books on writing, heard them at book signings, but the thing about a storyteller like Mr. Block is, when he repeats himself he puts a little twist on things, so you sit there and read it again. You can't beat it for a buck, for a few laughs and nuggets of writerly wisdom. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A collection of afterwords from New York Times bestselling author Lawrence Block, a Grand Masater of the Mystery Writers of America. In a career spanning more than fifty years, Lawrence Block has produced more than one hundred books, ranging in genre from hard-boiled detective stories to pseudonymous erotica. Collected here for the first time are more than forty-five afterwords from the works that made him a master of modern fiction. Each afterword is an insightful reflection on the experiences that have brought Block's fiction to life, from the lessons he learned as a reader at a literary agency to the unlikely--and semi-autobiographical--origins of the acclaimed Matthew Scudder series. Witty and inspiring, Afterthoughts is a must-read for Block fans and mystery lovers alike. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Lawrence Block, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

If you have ever heard Block read one of his own books (he is a master narrator, by the way) you’ll hear his unique cadence even in some of these short essays.
Reading the book is like sitting with Block in a dimly lit bistro and having a lovely chat with an old friend. ( )
