Elmore Leonard's metafilter obituary thread is not tagged with elmoreleonard. According to the faq only the original poster or an admin can fix that.

There is a more complete map of Leonard Detroit book locations in that thread.

I totally agree with the Grantland writer's thesis that those Detroit thug life novels from the 70's were extra special.

Not entirely. Mutual contacts can also add tags to each others' posts. I added his name to that older post.
