There's a web page on outsider writers with Harry Crews,
Bukowski, and =
Edward Bunker, who wrote Straight Time, with Dustin Hoffman,
and the =
screenplay to Runaway Train. Two pretty good efforts. If you
include =
Louisiana movies, The Big Easy, Hard Times, and Southern
Comfort were =
pretty good. I think that was Dewey Balfa in Southern
Comfort, and =
Michael Doucet in The Big Easy. A harboiled detective has it
made in =
the shade, compared to a musician.

Subject: RARA-AVIS: Non-mystery hardboiled writings
I know I am new to the mailing list and this question may
have been
thrown out a lot, but do you guys like really hardboiled
non-mysteries?=20
I speak of one of my heroes, Harry Crews, whose novel "The
Knockout
Artist" is one of the great hardboileds of all time. I like
it
especially because it is about New Orleans, my home
town.
But there are others: early Richard Ford, Bukowski, Pickney
Benedict,
some Hemingway that I would love to discuss in conjunction
with the
greats such as Chandler and Hammett.
