Now his work is known for its tight prose, "ear-perfect" dialogue and depiction of lower-class life. Leonard has written more than 32 novels, including the bestsellers Pronto, Maximum Bob and Get Shorty, which was made into a film starring John Travolta and Gene Hackman. Leonard's 1999 novel Be Cool is the sequel to Get Shorty. It's just been made into a film also starring John Travolta, with Vince Vaughn. This interview originally was broadcast on Feb. 24, 1999.
