Lawrence Block’s trilogy of Parker forewords

Today, Mulholland Books posted Lawrence Block’s foreword to the University of Chicago Press edition of Butcher’s Moon. This means that all three of Block’s forewords, which form a trilogy of sorts, are now available for reading online.

• The foreword to Butcher’s Moon, titled to make it more article-like “Canarsie and Westlake, Parker and Stark (and Me),” is at the Mulholland Books site.
• The foreword to Comeback was posted at Mr. Block’s Facebook page.
• And I was privileged to post the foreword to Backflash at this humble site.

Thanks to Lawrence Block and the University of Chicago Press for letting me be part of this rollout–it was and is a real honor. And an extra thanks to U of C for getting these books where they belong–in the hands of readers.
