Hey Bill --
You know, I just found a flaw in Polito's SAVAGE ART (the
biography of Jim Thompson). There's no bibliography of
Thompson's work included. But didn't he start out writing
proletarian novels that were published in hardback before he
became a "paperback writer" (sorry, listening to the Beatles
as I write) for Lion in the '50s?
