Sun, 21 Feb 1999 21:46:03 -0700 This was Block's solution to the proliferation of categories within the
genre:

"I would propose two categories, so composed that one may determine
instantly and without argument which category any given book ought to be
consigned.
To wit: Books With Cats and Books Without Cats ...
Imagine the fun when a novel by James Ellroy, say, wins Best Mystery
Wtih Cats."
