RETURN TO THE CLASSICS...


DAUGHTER OF BONNIE & CLYDE
Brent Lynton Wright
1971, paperback
$12.95......out of print

Great, hard-to-find vintage paperback - actually, the novelization of a screenplay (a movie tie-in for a film that was never made) - courtesy of one of the most interesting worst novelists of the 50s & 60s whose work spanned nearly every genre of paperback fiction, from westerns to crime, gay pulp, and sleaze. Wright was also a character actor in more than 200 Hollywood films going back to the the original Three Stooges.

As for the book -- a tale of the orphaned child of gangsterdom's most famous couple and her journey into crime is pure pulp. But that's a good thing.
