I do find the snippets of his western fiction much more interesting than his adventure yarns. I especially found reading some of the beginnings to his science fiction and mysticism efforts uninteresting for me. ( ) lamour | Jan 13, 2018 | While JRR Tolkien has had a wider influence on the international world, Louis L'Amour's work has been equally influential in a smaller arena. I am a fan of each. Beau L'Amour is a more engaging narrator than Christopher Tolkien, something I attribute to the great difference in their ages and the different literary traditions in which they work. I greatly prefer Mr. Tolkien's convention of referring to "my father" over Mr. L'Amour referring to his father sometime as "my father" and other times as "Louis". I found "Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures" interesting as an insight into Louis L'Amour's work habits and I certainly wish that he had finished some of these stories which, based on the fragments, would have been good. But I found the book as a whole unsatisfying simply because they are fragments. I find the Tolkien fragments unsatisfying too. I don't think this book is worth much effort unless you are a collector. I received a review copy of "Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures: Volume 1: Unfinished Manuscripts, Mysterious Stories, and Lost Notes from One of the World's Most Popular Novelists by Louis L'Amour" edited by Beau L'Amour (Random House – Ballantine) through NetGalley.com.

HTML:The first of its kind, a unique volume of twenty-one unpublished gems from one of the twentieth century??s most popular and prolific writers Using his father??s handwritten notes, journal entries, and correspondences, Beau L??Amour uncovers how and why many never-before-seen manuscripts were written??and speculates about the ways they might have ended. These selections celebrate L??Amour??s vision and virtuosity, including the first seven chapters of a powerful novel about the Trail of Tears, a chilling Western horror story, and a tale of the American Revolution featuring a character related to L??Amour??s well-known Sackett family. At the other end of the spectrum are classic adventures, such as The Golden Tapestry, set in 1960s Istanbul, as well as several uniquely different attempts at what would have been the most profoundly intimate of all of L??Amour??s novels, a saga of reincarnation that stretches from a time before time, to the period of Alexander the Great, and on to Warlord-Era China. Illustrated with rare photographs, this book reveals the L??Amour you have never known, his personal struggles as a writer, and the contest between mortality and a literary legacy too big for one life to contain. ??Lost treasures indeed . . . a behind-the scenes look at the unpublished work and unrealized aspirations of an iconic writer of Westerns.???Kirkus Reviews ??A valuable addition to [L??Amour??s] literary legacy.???Booklist Louis L??Amour??s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author??s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives.
