<<I saw the cable movie based on this. It was pretty
generic, although it starred Yancy Butler, a fave of mine,
who did a good job as the increasingly creepy stalking
Ex.>>
I haven't seen the movie, but the book struck me as a
superior effort, a sort of feverish Gil Brewer Gold Medal
written by a much better writer -- this is a good place to
note that Brewer, who's generally not considered one of the
best Gold Medalists, was a good writer. He came up with
interesting stories, which is perhaps all that counts in the
long run.
Speaking of contemporary writing: has anyone read Grafton's
latest? A neighbor was done with it and I had nothing to
read, so I started it. I couldn't get past page 20 or so. The
reasons why I stopped reading this author still obtain, it
seems. Obtain? I'd better stop. My brain is in two places,
pieces, forthwith, notwithstanding, hitherto, inasmuch
as.
