A couple quick things about John Ridley (STRAY DOGS, LOVE IS
A RACKET, EVERYBODY SMOKES IN HELL) that I thought might be
of interest to the group...or at least those that like
Ridley's work, as I do.
I attended a reading/signing of his last evening in Seattle.
Answering a question about his hardboiled influences, he
cited Jim Thompson and James Ellroy as being two influential
authors he enjoys reading. He singled out Ellroy's
CLANDESTINE as being a particular favorite of his.
Funny, I thought for sure James Cain's name would have
arisen. But it didn't.
BTW: The screenplay for the new film, THREE KINGS (about to
open...or currently showing?) was written by Ridley.
