I admit it. Until a couple of years ago did not even know who he was, then someone asked me if I could find the novels of L'amour and I have documented. I was smiling because in part snubbed the idea of \u200b\u200bwestern literature, but also in this genre, as in all, there may be good literature of leisure, although western. And what he has written only this man talking about more than 100 novels. Of course, all but one (miracolo!!), Out of print.
L'amour was born in 1908 in North Dakota as the last of seven children and had a life full of adventures and different places. He lived with his parents in Oklahoma through adolescence and then exercised an incredible number of jobs until the Second War Modiale: professional boxer, longshoreman, carpenter, anything would allow him to run more possible places, the true frontier, one that he loved so much and towers in his novels.
With the war he enlisted he held different positions in Britain, France, Germany and was discharged when he returned to Oklahoma where he could continue to write novels that meanwhile were having some success so intrigued by Hollywood. And what actors could play the characters of L'Amour? But the stars of Westerns, of course: among all John Wayne and Alan Ladd giving us many unforgettable films especially the 70s. How can we forget the nazionalpopolare Sophia in "The Devil in Pink Tights" directed by George Cukor, "The desperadoes of the border", "Kit Rodel"?
now seems all but forgotten in Italy if not some huge collector. If you accidentally get it in the bookstore the clerk looks at you and responding (as has happened to me, because if one is called L'Amour is the stuff of little women, right?): "Try to look between the novels of love, close to Danielle Steel "and you would like to pull the colt and pull the trigger, but then when you think about" death had come fast and struck violently, leaving behind the wagons burned and naked bodies and looted, unnaturally white in the sun "(cited from the runway Oregon)
But some people do not forget how this site shows, which also sells merchandise http://www.louislamour.com
