It was published, and the rest is history.</p><p><em>One Night Stands and Lost Weekends</em> is a sterling collection of short crime fiction and suspense novelettes penned between 1958 and 1962 by a budding young master and soon-to-be Grand Master--an essential slice of genre history, and more fun than a high-speed police chase following a bank job gone bad.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Well worth resurrecting as the portrait of a self-described 'gormless young man' who grew up to be a killer writer."--<em>Seattle Times</em><br><br>"It's interesting to observe his skills progressing and no doubt inspiring to would-be writers....If your taste runs to cheap detectives, cheaper crooks, and D-cup damsels, One Night Stands and Lost Weekends is for you."--<em>Library Journal</em><br><br>"Taut classic hard-boiled noir....Will leave even newcomers hungry for more."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br><br>"Tasty like candy and a little addictive."--Lisa Ko, author of <em>The Leavers</em><br><br>"These early Block writings deftly capture the flavor and attitudes of an era when crime ran rampant in the city....Block is in fine form."--Lansing State Journal<br><br>"This collection will delight the prize-winning author's many fans."--Aptos Times (Aptos, CA)<br><br>"This new collection of Block's early stories will delight fans of hard-boiled detective fiction."--Charlotte Observer<br>
