The funniest line was:
"(Hammett) had a talent for short fiction. I don't."
Evidently, and with all due respect, Mr. Parker has never
done a page count on some of his own books, many of which
would make a Fawcett Gold Medal paperback from the fifties
look bloated and padded, in comparison. In fact, it's part of
Parker's appeal for me, that he gets in, tells a story, and
gets out.
Neat illustration, too.
