By a Sjkaff Writer <$>■ A son of former O’Neill resi- ( dents has joined the paperback de tective story school of writers and come up with 78-thousand racy ^ words about a private eye named \ O’Reilly. The new author is Robert Sou- 1 kup, 35, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonrrd E. Soukup, 540 NE 25th ] st., Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The writer’s mother is the former Jo sie Carlon. daughter of the late Judge and Mrs. Carlon of O’Neill. Young Soukup’s relatives here include Stanley Soukup, an uncle, and Bert Shoemaker, an uncle by marriage. Some critics are predicting that Soukup's O'Reilly will give Mike Hammer and Sam Spade a run for their money in the paperback field. His first book, “Unruly O’Reil ly,” was hammered out in four weeks and was published last fall by the American Publishing Co. Soukup sold it on the basis of two chapters of sex and murder. It was the first try at a novel for the 35-year-old fighter plane ace who took years out to shoot down 7 German planes in the late war. Young Soukup sold his first story at the age of 24. It was a short piece purchased by Colliers. He quit his literary work when he began flying air force planes, took a whirl at the cosmetics business in Florda, and was prompted to write “Unruly O’ Reilly” after a friend, Larry Wilson, approached him with a Life magazine article on Mickey Spillane, the current rage of the paperbacks. “Why don’t you write a book?” urged Wilson. Soukup wrote one, and is now writing another about the same character. He’s entitled it, “Now, Really, O’Reilly.” "After one or two more O' Reilly efforts I'm going to try and write something good/' says the young author. The first one came easy. He had knocked off five chapters before he had decided how he was going to end it, packing it with unsavory characters, ques tionable women and salty dia logue. Then, he got an idea for the ending, wrote the last three chapters and filled in the middle. He composes in long hand— “I can’t think on a typewriter”— and when the mood is there the words and plot spill out in an endless stream. He once wrote 11,000 words in one night. After completing a section in longhand, he types it out, chang ing a word or two here, a line there, and that’s it. No rewrit ing. The language is strong, earthy and unmistakable. Some of his more enthusiastic friends say he will out-Spil lane Spillane. “Unruly O’Reilly” begins with the murder of a wealthy banker, speeds through a welter of vice, I corruption, tempestuous love and two more murders and comes up j with a tricky ending.
