I've been utilizing the paradigm of the 'private investigator' or 'detective' in my creative visual work. An early favorite was Genet's 'The Erasers,' where the detective causes a previously-fictional crime to occur by investigating-it. My interest lies along the fringes of the genre; where the definitions mutate. I've recently been impressed by Jonathan Lethem's work: 'Gun, with Occasional Music' (a detective-novel turned sci-fi) and 'Amnesia Moon.' I'd be grateful to hear recommendations of any similar authors/titles. -- { brad brace } <<<< bbrace@netcom.com >>>> ~finger for pgp The 12hr-ISBN-JPEG Project ftp.netcom.com/pub/bb/bbrace continuous hypermodern ftp.teleport.com/users/bbrace photo-art ftp.pacifier.com/pub/users/bbrace -- Usenet-news: alt.binaries.pictures.12hr/ a.b.p.fine-art.misc Mailing-list: listserv@netcom.com / subscribe 12hr-isbn-jpeg Reverse Solidus: http://www.teleport.com/~bbrace/bbrace.html -- - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
