Someone asked about John Franklin Bardin: I read, I think, a
book called
_The Devil Take the Blue-Tail Fly_. It was one of the novels
in a
Penguin omnibus of three of his works (the only three full
novels?).
The prose was strong, as I recall, the story stongly
psychological (eg.,
descent into/discovery of madness): the rest is a blur.
Re: Michael David Sharp: Are there more impressions of LA
CONFIDENTIAL?
I thought it was pretty good--but no CHINATOWN. I've got a
few ideas
about, but I've said enough already.
