That's Elmore Leonard, recently deceased, and author of some of the best crime noir and westerns ever written.

Specifically, this looks like it's from "Rum Punch", which was later co-opted into the movie "Jackie Brown" by Quentin Tarantino, who is a huge fan of Leonard's.

Leonard is most famous for his movie adaptations of "3:10 to Yuma", "Get Shorty", "Out of Sight", etc.

A quote from Jackie Brown.

that's my point. as someone who had no idea of this, i would think that the author was a raving lunatic or something. at the very least put the thing in quotes and have a citation at the end.
