Found robbers some time ago in a discount book store and I
think plugged it on the list. It's superb, buy and read.
Definitely noir. Another of my recent favourites, Run,
dispensed with quotation marks and I find it annoying (but
obviously didn't really hinder my enjoyment of these two).
Does anyone out there have any idea of why it's being done? -
I assume now we will see a rash of no quote books, is it at
the author's suggestion or some publisher policy? I can't
really see how the nano-second spent registering a quotation
mark can slow down the pace of a book (I found Robbers a
quick read as well). Do I detect the dread hand of designers
here? The story is sleek so the pages must be sleek and
uncluttered as well.
