Yes, yes you can.
The TM Daily Post has a nice profile of Joe Lansdale.
…Lansdale is often compared to a number of authors who specialize in bloody, neo-Gothic thrillers, loosely termed “country noir,” among them Woodrell, Donald Ray Pollock (The Devil All the Time), Tom Franklin (Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter) and the late William Gay (Twilight). After being ignored by critics and readers alike, these writers have found a measure of mainstream embrace over the past decade.
I’m not going to claim to be a close personal friend of Mr. Lansdale’s – Lawrence knows him better than I do – but in my limited interaction with him, he’s always been nothing but nice. He’s a swell guy, as far as I’m concerned, and I’m delighted that he’s “finally having a moment, after three-plus-decades toiling in semi-obscurity”.
