    Hi Chris-

    Thanks for the laugh! Wouldn't it be richly ironic if Pelecanos reviewed one of MY books? Don't forget though that since I gave up on reading his canon I have made a point of lauding his screenwriting for shows such as THE WIRE on multiple occasions! I think he does a great job in that medium.

    Thanks again for the laugh, and for the kind words.

    Brian
