Mon, 1 Dec 1997 11:59:55 -0500 (EST) I'm happy to share my syllabus w/ anyone who's curious; there will be a
website when I get a spare minute (early January, probably). It is indeed
*all* hardboiled (though I throw a wide net -- I include Hughes and
Highsmith where some might not). I think there are seven novels and the
Adrian/Pronzini collection on the syllabus at the moment. I can email the
latest version to anyone who wants it. MDS
