In India, my country, interest for pulp, hard boiled or noir
is minimal. People are aware of movies but not the source. I
am, may be one of those rare readers who has read a lot and
collected a lot. Right now, I am feeling saturated with my
search for books which might be there but I am unaware of. I
am not interested in reprints, though a reprint would give me
the same reading experience, and I wish to have a collection
which has almost everything worth reading but printed by
original publishers. I recently aquired 'sin-pit' by Paul
meskil, 'Miss Doll Go Home' by David Markson, 'Mr. bowling
buys a newspaper' By Donal Henderson, 'Lazarus # 7' by
Richard Sale and many others. I wish to get 'Black has my
angel' by Elliot Chaze, but it's so rare and expensive. It's
a pleasure, unparelleled, to get your hands at something that
rare and then devour it and after the last page, I always
feel an excitement which is almost as good as making a movie.
By the way, I am a film maker. Please tell me the names of
those novels which are not so well known but rare gems of
hard boiled or noir.
