Interviewed by Rick Klaw, in the San Antonio Current:
Joe R. Lansdale, previously best known as a pivotal figure in the blood and guts infused '80s splatterpunk movement, reinvented his literary persona when he introduced crime fiction's most unusual duo in 1990's Savage Season. Over the course of seven books, good ol' boy Hap Collins, a 40-something white liberal, and Vietnam veteran Leonard Pine — black, conservative, gay — encounter all sorts of bizarre nasties, violent trouble, and humorous situations throughout Lansdale’s East Texas homeland. Racial tensions and societal intolerance color all of their adventures.
