Mark,
Thanks very much; really glad you liked the piece. Manchette
was pretty well-read in American noir and detective stories,
so he may well have been aware of Hammett's Flitcraft. I
wouldn't be surprised. As for the biography, no, it hasn't
been translated into English as far as I know. I've e-mailed
my contact at City Lights to ask whether they plan to issue
any more Manchette titles in translation--will let you know
what I find out.
