David, For the next Goodis after The Burglar, I'd go with
Street of No Return, Cassidy's Girl or Shoot the Piano Player
(Down There). But if you like one Goodis, odds are you're
going to like them all. Even though some of them have
absolutely ridiculous plots (Dark Passage -- cab driver who
picks up and recognizes an escaped murderer: Gee, I never
thought you did it and not only am I not going to turn you
in, but I'm going take you to a sympathetic plastic surgeon I
happen to know. Gimme a break!), the characters and their
psychology remain near constant across the books. There are
better and worse, but they're all worth reading if you're a
fan.
