They are fine fine fine. But I've never seen an Ellroy introduction. Can someone out there give me a BL title Ellroy wrote an intro to? Love to see it. Too bad BL quit, eh? Regarding Thompson, anyout ever read A HELL OF A WOMAN? Talk about harrowing! I can say I've never seen anyone write in quite a hard-boiled manner as Thompson in this book, some some critic said represents the despair behind the newspaper headlines. What a book! It would be interesting to speculate what the greatest crime novel is. Richard King - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
