GREAT SHORT FICTION

Though I had a better, full time job back in 1986, I was working part time in a nationally known bookstore, and when this pile of paperbacks came in, was taken by the cover enough to want to read the stories. It was my first brush with Lawrence Sanders and to this day the book, TALES OF THE WOLF, remains one of my favorites. The baker's dozen of stories here concern one Wolf Lannihan, a rogue if ever there was one, yet he is always loyal to the 'general' and the triple I company. Since these stories all originally appeared in a men's magazine of the late 1960s (Swank) they do have some rough edges and were written to a certain template of the time. Yet for me, after reading many other books by Sanders, this small volume remains a favorite. Lawrence Sanders wrote some very good books, and then some that were not so very good, but for many readers this book will offer up some enjoyable hours of reading. Too bad he didn't write more short stories concerning ole Wolf. As the Chick Bowdrie stories define an earlier, less successful Louis L'Amour, so too do these early stories from Sanders define him in his earlier writings prior to The Anderson Tape fame. Semper Fi.
