Inhaltsangabe

The stories in Willeford's 1963 paranoia pulp classic The Machine in Ward Eleven, featuring six incisive tales in a previously hard to get collection, are as fresh as the day they were published, giving us a timely reminder that madness is truly at the dark heart of 21st century politics.

Written at a time when we still had some faith in our elected leaders Willeford laid bare the American Dream. Events over the last 30 odd years have stripped away the hype and pomp but Willeford was there first. There is an almost Chekhovian wistfulness in the treatment of his stories which belies their considerable impact. Don't make the mistake of consigning this to some sort of historical context: Willeford is as chilling and relevant as ever.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A hobo at age 16, then a decorated WW2 marine, then a teacher of literature, Willeford had two careers as a writer - in the 50's & 60's, with the hardboiled pulp in the style of Jim Thompson and then in the eighties with the four superb Hoke Moseley novels. The first of these - Miami Blues - was made into a film starring William Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward, and Woman Chaser is soon to be a major movie starring William Warburton.
