According to the author bio Nolan reviews mystery fiction for
The Wall
Street Journal. I have no idea of what quality this book will
be but it
seems to focus on his private life ("...recounts Macdonald's
relationships
with Marshall McLuhan, Eudora Welty, and publisher Alfred A.
Knopf, and
chronicles his long-running literay rivalry with Raymond
Chandler") rather
than on his writing career. I will be getting a copy (I hope)
so hopefully I
can come up with a review in the spring. And yes, Kevin, I
still like the
Archer books and fill the gaps in my collection with cheap
used editions
when I can remember which ones I'm missing.
Ciao, Keith Logan
