Description: Mr. Majestyk by Elmore Leonard, a Dell Publishing Softcover The story is about Vincent Majestyk, a former war vet and melon who’s minding his own business, against Frank Renda, a mob hitman. Mr. Majestyk is the only one of Elmore Leonard’s many novels that was originally a Charles Bronson movie from a screenplay he wrote that was made into a movie before the book was written. From Goodreads:Elmore John Leonard lived in Dallas, Oklahoma City and Memphis before settling in Detroit in 1935. After serving in the navy, he studied English literature at the University of Detroit where he entered a short story competition. His earliest published novels in the 1950s were westerns, but Leonard went on to specialize in crime fiction and suspense thrillers, many of which have been adapted into motion pictures. In his essay "Elmore Leonard's Ten Rules of Writing" he said: "My most important rule is one that sums up the 10: If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it." He also said: "I try to leave out the parts that readers tend to skip." ■
