The death of Elmore Leonard leaves modern crime fiction with significant dearth of its iconic figures, although Leonard himself wrote in several genres.
Leonard was one of those who wrote genre fiction, but did so with a skill and style that elevated much of his work above the crowd, and some of it to prompt serious reflection on human life and its meaning. Bookshelves are poorer for the work of his that will now not be written.
