Peter Lance. He accused us of being soft, evidently because
we dared to not
like his book enough....(I'm not sure...I only came in on the
tail end of
the argument....)... But calling us soft? Man, that's harsh.
We all cried
for weeks....so please, Eddie, don't hurt our feelings.... :
)
By the way, Eddie, good critique of Pelecanos in CrimeTime. I
don't agree
with everything you said, but you raised some really good
points. I'll have
to think about 'em while I'm working my way through Nick's
Trip. Maybe we
should think about reading some Pelecanos sometime...
