In 1956, Simon & Schuster published The Fireside Book of Baseball, edited by Charles Einstein. With subsequent volumes published in 1958 and 1968, the "Fireside" books became among the most indispensable of any baseball library, long before the fourth volume was published in 1987. Between the third and fourth volumes, Einstein wrote Willie's Time, a memoir far more than a baseball book and a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He wrote for radio, TV, and film. His novel, The Bloody Spur, is the source for the film noir classic While the City Sleeps. Son of a vaudeville comedian, and half-brother of Albert Brooks & Bob Einstein (aka Super Dave Osborne, Charles Einstein is gone, but not forgotten.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack presents this very special edition of IN CONVERSATION with Lawrence Block and Wallace Stroby, two of our best writers of mystery, suspense and thrillers. About Lawrence Block: Lawrence Block has been writing crime, mystery, and suspense fiction for more than half a century. He has published in excess (oh, wretched excess!) of 100 books, and no end of short stories. Born in Buffalo, N.Y., LB attended Antioch College, but left before completing his studies; school authorities advised him that they felt he’d be happier elsewhere, and he thought this was remarkably perceptive of them. His earliest work, published pseudonymously in the late 1950s, was mostly in the field of midcentury erotica, an apprenticeship he shared with Donald E. Westlake and Robert Silverberg. The first time Lawrence Block’s name appeared in print was when his short story “You Can’t Lose” was published in the February 1958 issue of Manhunt. The first book published under his own name was Mona (1961); it was reissued several times over the years, once as Sweet Slow Death. In 2005 it became the first offering from Hard Case Crime, and bore for the first time LB’s original title, Grifter's Game. About Wallace Stroby: SOME DIE NAMELESS is Wallace's current book. He is an award-winning journalist and the author of the novels THE DEVIL'S SHARE, SHOOT THE WOMAN FIRST, KINGS OF MIDNIGHT, COLD SHOT TO THE HEART, GONE 'TIL NOVEMBER, THE HEARTBREAK LOUNGE and THE BARBED-WIRE KISS, which was a finalist for the 2004 Barry Award for Best First Novel. A New Jersey native, he's a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore. For 13 years, he was an editor at The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger, Tony Soprano's hometown newspaper. authorsinterviewscrime fictionlegendsstorytellingwriterswriterscommunitypodcast
