Bill Denton wants to know who wrote a short story called "Kiss
Me, Dudley."
This story is a parody on Spillane, probably first printed in
the January
1955 of Manhunt magazine, written by Hunt Collins, aka Evan
Hunter, aka Ed
McBain. This story may be reprinted in some anthology under the
name of
Evan Hunter or Ed McBain now.
Mario Taboada wants to know about Roger L. Simon's CALIFORNIA
ROLL.
When Roger visited Japan in the mid-80s, I guided him around
Tokyo. The
translator in the book may be based on me. Roger came to the
meeting of
The Maltese Falcon Society Japan, which I was in charge of.
Roger's latest novel,THE LOST COAST (HarperCollins, 1997), has
to do with
the environment movement in the Lost Coast in California, the
wildest
forest in the Northern California, and with the sold-out
private eye and
the shot-out family.
