Congratulations on encountering Sallis. I really enjoy
Sallis' work. I
first stumbled across his books during a trip to New Orleans
about 4-5
years ago. He's certainly a writer that I'd add to the top
10
under-recognized hard-boiled writers that someone on this
list mentioned.
By the way, Sallis has two more recent novels -- one's a
spy-type novel,
the other is a fourth Lew (last name escapes me) novel.
Haven't read 'em
yet, but they're on the ever-present, ever-growing
list.
Oh, besides some poetry, Sallis also wrote a non--fiction
work about
Chester Himes (and two other writers I can't recall at the
moment -- the
memory is fading early today). -- Duane
