I’m happy to bring you Dutch reading from his own work.
The first selection is from The Hot Kid, chapter one. Carlos Webster, aka Carl, is still a boy but already doing a man’s job, already becoming the hot kid.
Next is a scene with Carl older, now a U.S. Marshal, and Crystal Davidson. Her boyfriend was a bank robber Carl shot and killed, but he and Crystal ended up friends. Dutch reads the scene where she visits his place in Tulsa for talk and sex. She’s a minor character who shows up and starts talking, and Dutch can’t shut her up.
The podcast ends with a recitation of Elmore Leonard’s Ten Rules of Writing. Many of you already know them, but it’s great to hear Dutch read them.
