Getting to this thread late. Listing only four, not out of
any particular contrary spirit, but because I've gone back to
these writers again and again and kept my enthusiasm. I run
hot and cold on Hammett,and look forward to an exchange on
Red Harvest. I'm mightily impressed by James Ellroy, but put
him in a category with Thomas Wolfe--powerful prose,
wonderful scenes, but a whole seems too long,
overwritten.
