Glad you liked MIAMI PURITY, Jeff. I can't seem to find the
time to weigh in on all the posts, but someone earlier
mentioned they found the book thin and derivative. All
literature is derivative, so all I can give that is an
affirmative shrug. The ill-fated lovers rutting next to the
body is an obvious wink towards Cain's THE POSTMAN ALWAYS
RINGS TWICE. I had no problem with that. I enjoyed being able
to make the connection.
As far as it being thin, well I guess I'd have to agree with
that, too, but I think I'd use the word
"light" instead. My impression of the book is that Ms
Hendricks was having fun with the whole thing. I couldn't
imagine her writing some of those lines without laughing out
loud as she penned them, and that is the context I took them
in.
It's been a while since I read it, but I found the intensity
and the seriousness of IGUANA LOVE kicked up a notch above
MIAMI PURITY.
