I agree with Kevin
Smith that The Mexican Tree Duck by James Crumley was not as
tightly
woven as his other books (by the way, he wrote The Wrong Case,
not The
Wrong Kiss). BUT there's nothing pointless or tiresome in
Border Snakes
(his latest novel). The roadtrips are part of a flawless sense
of tempo
and everything in that book makes sense eventually. Maybe not
as good
as The Last Good Kiss, but very near the mark in my
opinion.=20
Do you know that James Crumley has a good readership here in
France?
All his books have been well translated and published by
Gallimard.
