Re: RARA-AVIS: Eugene Issi
I've read just about all of his stuff. His early books THE TAKE and BAD GUYS
are both pretty cool, but the closest he came to a masterpiece was THE PRIME
ROLL. He wrote something like a book a year for about a decade. After
awhile all his stuff starts sounding the same, but at his best he was being
compared to Elmore Leonard.
Had the opportunity to meet him once on a book tour. Charming guy who seemed
genuinely tough and may or may not have known real wise guys.
