Willeford

"Willeford" is the first extensive critical appreciation of the life and writing of Charles Willeford (1919-1988), author of "Miami Blues, The Burnt Orange Heresy" and "Cockfighter." From his early Depression-era experiences as a teen-age hobo, through his twenty-year enlistment in the Army and Air Force (including his role as a tank commander with Patton's Third Army, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge), his years of struggle in the paperback original jungle, to a final triumph with his series of crime novels about Miami homicide inspector Hoke Moseley, this book tells his story.
