RARA-AVIS: Big Book of Noir

Tue, 10 Nov 1998 16:24:13 -0800 I've just skimmed through the fiction section, the one edited by Ed Gorman,
trying to figure out what our friend found wrong with it. I find articles
on Woolrich, Fredric Brown, Whittington, John D. MacDonald, Spillane, Ross
Macdonald, Charles Williams, Westlake, Himes, Hamilton, Highsmith, Willeford
and Sallis. Wow!

And who wrote these essays? Nobodies? Sure, Barry Malzberg, Bill Pronzini,
Max Collins, Bill Crider, James Sallis, Gary Lovisi, Dick Lochte. There's
got to be a hidden agenda here somewhere, I would think.

Me, I'm still looking forward to reading every word.

Cheers,

Frank D.
