RARA-AVIS: Re: Well-Rounded, THE LITTLE SISTER

Mark,

I meant THE LITTLE SISTER and PLAYBACK individually. I liked THE LONG GOODBYE, but could feel Chandler stretching for story there, too. Just an instinct.

To finally nail down my "well-rounded" comment, I'm referring to the trend of today's authors overtly revealing their characters in the text. I understand the appeal of not having to see a character's sides to know they're there. Personally, I want some blunt assurance now and then to go along with "knowing."

Gerald
