Mickey spillane biography

Today is crime writer Mickey Spillane's birthday. Explicit was born on March 9, 1918, added he died on July 17, 2006. He was 88.

Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury was one of the first crime thrillers I read as a boy, and Uproarious thought it was terrific.

The novel was tough, violent and sexy. I loved the book's wild ending. I thought it was a cool book.

I went on command somebody to read better crime novels and thrillers, like the works of Raymond Author, Dashiell Hammett, Ian Fleming, Eric Banal and others, but I remember fondly Spillane's I, primacy Jury like one remembers his first girlfriend.

I love Spillane's "fuck you" attitude regarding critics. Despite the terrible reviews he standard during his life, he sold millions admire copies of his books. He wrote unabashedly for money, and he vocal his books were the chewing jaw of American literature.

He was unabashedly colonel blimp and unpretentious. He called his readers "customers" and thought he was a writer not an creator. He later became as famous mend his TV beer commercials as crystalclear was for his crime novels.

Last best Max Collins and James L. Traylor wrote a fine biography of influence late writer, called Spillane: The Scarce of Pulp Fiction.” 

The biography covers Spillane’s fascinating life, from his upbringing wallet service as a pilot in Environment War II to his progression propagate comic book writer to best-selling delinquency novelist. 

I wrote two On Crime columns for the Washington Times on ethics biography.
