Last couple months have re-read Cassidy's Girl by Goodis
(this after reading the Hard Case edition of The Wounded and
The Slain), Big Blowdown & Shoedog by Pelecanos and
Tapping The Source by Kem Nunn... also in that time both
Corss and Ammunition by Bruen, Issue #1 of Murdaland (Goodis,
Bruen and Woodrell all under one roof!), Got by D (you all
need to read this one), Drive by Sallis, Charlie Houston's
The Shotgun Rule (disappointed), Bottomfeeder by B.H.
Fingerman (hard-bitten vampire thing unlike anything you've
read before--high praise for this one) and just wrapped up
the newly issued FIGHT by Eugen Robinson. Non- fiction but
about as hard-bitten, cynical and funny as they come--a good
one to be sure.
On deck I've got Lynskey's The Blue Cheer and a pile of Hard
Case's handed to me for my birthday, of which I think I'll
start off with Aleas' Songs of Innocence.
