与黑帮有染的高利贷掮客 Chili Palmer 厌倦了迈阿密的枯燥营生——更何况他的“朋友们”在那儿总有个横死街头的坏毛病。因此,当他一路追债追到 Hollywood 时,Chili 琢磨着自己不妨留下来。这座充斥着造梦者、浮华表象、叫卖小贩和骗子的小镇——放眼望去还到处是衣着清凉的娇艳准女星——对于一个有电影品味且野心勃勃的罪犯来说再合适不过了。此外,Chili 还萌生了一个绝妙电影的点子——尽管要把它拍出来很可能会要了他的命。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • …不过《The Baroque Cycle》(共三卷)也非常棒。如果你喜欢犯罪/悬疑小说,前不久去世的 Elmore Leonard 绝对是顶尖高手之一。他的几部作品被改编成了电影(《Get Shorty》、《Jackie Brown》、《The Big Bounce》),口碑褒贬不一,但我非常推荐去读原作,他的书数量非常多。如果想看不同类型的小说,James Clavell 的《Shogun》、《Taipan》和《Noble House》…

    …but The Baroque Cycle (three books) is very good as well. If you're into crime/mystery fiction, the recently deceased Elmore Leonard was one of the best. A few of his books have been made into movies (Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, The Big Bounce) with mixed results, but I do I highly recommend reading the books, which are numerous. For a different sort of fiction, James Clavell's Shogun, Taipan, and Noble House…

  • 我在这里列了六本:http://jseliger.com/top-five-books :这些书绝对值得立刻去读:1. 《Lord of the Rings》 2. 《All the King’s Men》 3. 《High Fidelity》 4. 《Get Shorty》 5. 《Cryptonomicon》 6. Robertson Davies 的几乎任何作品,不过我建议从《The Deptford Trilogy》开始读,跳过《The Salterton Trilogy》

    I listed six here: http://jseliger.com/top-five-books : These books are worth reading immediately: 1. Lord of the Rings 2. All the King’s Men 3. High Fidelity 4. Get Shorty 5. Cryptonomicon 6. Almost anything by Robertson Davies, though I recommend starting with The Deptford Trilogy and skipping The Salterton Trilogy

  • …非常受大众欢迎的作品:《The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy》(1979)、《The Da Vinci Code》(2003)、《The Big Sleep》(1939)、《The Color out of Space》(1927)(短篇)、《The Hunt for Red October》(1984)、《Hondo》(1953)、《Get Shorty》(1990)。

  • 这让我想起了《Get Shorty》这本书以及后来的改编电影。讲的是一个黑手党高利贷催债人跑到好莱坞当制片人的故事。Elmore Leonard 在职业生涯的那段时期对电影制片人再熟悉不过了,显然看透了……

    This kind of reminds me of the book Get Shorty and the subsequent movie. About a mafia loan shark moving to hollywood and becoming a producer. Elmore Leonard was very familiar with movie producers by that point in his career, and clearly saw a a…
