"No one
writes a better crime novel than Charles Willeford." Elmore
Leonard
"Quirky
is the word that always comes to mind. Willeford wrote quirky
books about quirky characters, and seems to have done so with
a magnificent disregard for what anyone else thought." Lawrence
Block
"All of Charles
Willeford's writing is marked by the unusual: devious plots, dialogue
rich in innuendo, eccentric detailing of even the smallest roles,
wry touches of perversity, sardonicism, plus an overall no-nonsense
truth to chacracter."
Andrea Juno and V. Vale
"I'm not
really breaking the genre, just bending it a bit." Charles
Willeford
PointBlank
