RARA-AVIS: New Guy in Town

Doug Bentin (dgbdigger@yahoo.com)
Wed, 4 Feb 1998 13:39:28 -0800 (PST) Good afternoon, all.

I just learned of your existence and am pleased to be joining you.

My name is Doug Bentin and my main interest in hard-boiled writing is
with the first generation of writers, and not just the crime
writers--no one, for instance, is much tougher than early John
O'Hara--but my introduction to the world of hard-boiled was the Black
Mask boys.

I am looking forward to the discussion of the Highsmith novel coming
up soon. I may hang back for a bit, just to see how this list goes
about it, but I won't lurk for long.
