- James Arthur Crumley was the author of violent hardboiled crime novels and several volumes of short stories and essays, as well as published and unpublished screenplays. He has been described as "one of modern crime writing's best practitioners", who was "a patron saint of the post-Vietnam private eye novel" and a cross between Raymond Chandler and Hunter S. Thompson. His book The Last Good Kiss has been described as "the most influential crime novel of the last 50 years. " Crumley had a cult following, and his work is said to have inspired a generation of crime writers in both the U.S. and the U. K, including Michael Connelly, George Pelecanos, Dennis Lehane and Craig McDonald, as well as writers from other genres such as Neal Stephenson, but he never achieved mainstream success. "Don't know why that is," Crumley said in an interview in 2001, "Other writers like me a lot. But up until about 10 to 12 years ago, I made more money in France and Japan than in America. I guess I just don't fit in anyplace" in the genre book marketplace. Crumley's first published novel was 1969"s One to Count Cadence, which was set in Vietnam, and which he began as the thesis for his master's degree in creative writing. His novels The Last Good Kiss, The Mexican Tree Duck and The Right Madness feature the character C.W. Sughrue, an alcoholic ex-army officer turned private investigator. The Wrong Case, Dancing Bear and The Final Country feature another p.i. , Milo Milodragovitch. In the novel Bordersnakes, Crumley brought both characters together. Crumley said of his two private detectives: "Milo's first impulse is to help you; Sughrue's is to shoot you in the foot."

- James Crumley oli yhdysvaltalainen rikoskirjailija, jota pidetään alan huippunimenä Yhdysvalloissa, Chandlerin ja Hammettin perillisenä.

- James Crumley est un écrivain américain, né le 12 octobre 1939 à Three Rivers au Texas et mort le 17 septembre 2008 à Missoula dans le Montana.
- Si diploma alla high school a pieni voti e, per qualche tempo, accarezza l'idea di una carriera sportiva nel campo del football. Poi si iscrive al Georgia Institute of Technology, ma lo lascia per arruolarsi nell'esercito americano dal 1958 al 1961. Al ritorno dal servizio militare si iscrive al Texas College of Arts and Industries, ma si trasferisce ben presto all'Università dell'Iowa, dove trova straordinari insegnanti come il poeta Richard Hugo e il romanziere Richard Yates: alla base del suo primo romanzo, pubblicato nel 1969 con il titolo Uno per battere il passo (One to Count Cadence), c'è proprio la sua stessa tesi di laurea. Crumley è l'autore di L'ultimo vero bacio (The Last Good Kiss, 1978), considerato dalla critica uno tra i migliori romanzi hard boiled nella storia del giallo e da cui il regista Walter Hill aveva progettato di trarre un film, che non venne mai realizzato ma del quale lo stesso Crumley aveva scritto la sceneggiatura. Oltre a numerosi racconti e romanzi, che hanno goduto di notevole successo di critica e pubblico, Crumley ha scritto molte sceneggiature e testi teatrali, in gran parte rimasti inediti. Nel 1995 scrive la prima sceneggiatura di Judge Dredd, tratto dall'omonimo fumetto e affidato al regista Danny Cannon. Ma la produzione, dopo una lunga serie di modifiche, finisce per affidare la versione definitiva a William Wisher Jr. e Steven E. de Souza. Crumley ha insegnato per lungo tempo scrittura creativa all'Università del Texas di El Paso. Pare che a lui sia ispirata la figura del detective Crumley, personaggio di una trilogia a sfondo hard boiled di Ray Bradbury, anche se lo stesso Bradbury ha sempre sostenuto trattarsi di una coincidenza. Affezionato frequentatore di un saloon di Missoula chiamato Charlie's Bar, Crumley ha spesso tratto ispirazione per i suoi personaggi dalla singolare clientela del locale. Nel 2002 ha vinto il Silver Dagger Award con il romanzo The Final Country. Scompare nel 2008 dopo una serie di gravi problemi di salute, che ne avevano alla lunga minato la pur forte fibra. Crumley si è sposato cinque volte. Tutte le sue opere sono in corso di pubblicazione italiana, con nuove traduzioni, per Einaudi Stile Libero.
