'man on the run': a Listopia

[Feliks, Moderator]

Folks, I've just created a Listopia for a famous sub-genre of thriller writing called the 'man on the run' read. You know--and love--that kind of book, I'm sure. When it's done well, that is.

Here's the link:

The merit of this list is that its at least 75 titles of which you probably only know 10-15 authors. Its a classic list, which means Joe Conrad, Erskine Childers, Hammond Innes, Alistair MaClean, are all represented. You'll recognize them, immediately.

But there's probably 40 other authors cited --called up from the murky depths of the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s--which offer a rich trove for any of you seeking new titles. Man on the run!

The idea for this Listopia is the only part I had in this. For the titles themselves, I openly admit to cribbing them from a secret source I found on the web. Anyway, I hope you browse among these selections, and discover new names to pique your interest. After all, in many cases I could only add one novel from authors who conceivably have written dozens in this style. Each author therefore, represents on average 4-5 other un-cited works!

Let me hear your thoughts.

Thanks! I'll be setting up more items like this in the near future. I myself am fascinated to see just how vast this genre is--all those names--no one ever mentions them. Nobody should ever have any complaints for 'want of action' around here.

p.s. what does 'sourced' mean in the context of your sentence above?
