Raylan Raylan is a 2012 novel by Elmore Leonard, the author's final work before he died in 2013. The novel is based on the FX television series "Justified", which was in turn based on Leonard's short story "Fire in the Hole" and the character of Raylan Givens, who appeared in that short story as well as the novels "Pronto" and "Riding the Rap." "Raylan" is not a direct sequel to any of these novels, nor is it a direct sequel to the television series. Elements from both are changed: Boyd Crowder, who died in "Fire in the Hole" but is still alive in "Justified" is alive and a major character in "Raylan," while characters original to "Justified" such as Dickie and Coover Bennett return in repurposed forms, as Dickie and Coover Crowe. Several plotlines in "Raylan" were adapted by the writers of "Justified" into episodes of the show's third season, most notably with the episode "Thick as Mud."

Through a Naked Lens Through a Naked Lens is a 2005 American play by author George Barthel. It received its world premiere Off-Broadway at the Wings Theatre in New York City. The play itself uses historical evidence and imagined circumstances to depict the rise of early Hollywood film star Ramón Novarro. While a celebration of Novarro’s life, the drama is told largely through the perspective of reporter Herbert Howe. While Barthel places Howe and Novarro in a romantic relationship, it is unknown if such a connection actually existed. Howe did, however, spend a great deal of time with Novarro as his publicist. The play also features Alice Terry, Rex Ingram, Irving G. Thalberg, Jim Quirk, Adela Rogers St. Johns, and Louis B. Mayer as characters.

The novel uses a series of flashbacks to highlight the character's struggle in the past.

Harvey Aronson Harvey Aronson (born May 1929) is an American journalist and journalism teacher, and a former "Newsday" editor who also wrote or co-wrote several books. He was part of a group of "Newsday" reporters involved in writing the bestselling hoax novel "Naked Came the Stranger", initially credited to fictional author Penelope Ashe, and published as a parody of commercialized book publishing in general and of novels in the genre of Jacqueline Susann's "Valley of the Dolls" in particular. Aronson co-edited the project with his colleague, Mike McGrady, who had conceived the idea, and Aronson also wrote a chapter of the book about a character described in a later news article as "Melvin Corby, a meek real-estate lawyer, unsatisfied in his marriage yet incapable of adultery, the only character in the book thus afflicted." In a "Life" magazine article written after the ruse was revealed, Aronson commented that he thought the book had ended up being more comedic than pornographic, and he opined that Susann "writes about sex as if she were a virgin".
