I was intrigued by Vicki Hendicks admittance that Miami
Purity was at first an exercise in style with gender
reassignments, using the Postman Always Ring Twice as a
canvas, an exercise completed 50 years earlier
(news to me) by Camus in the Stranger. The French reviews of
MP fail to notice this homage/wink. For my money, this homage
makes the book all the more juicy, even if fluids, bodily and
cleaning, are already aplenty. jpj On Apr 7, 2005, at 2:31
