manuel says: It was a dark and stormy night in Denver, but
Pelecanos made it to the Tattered Cover. Not a bad crowd,
considering the weather. He gave some good answers to the
typical questions why read crime fiction [it's writing that
talks about things that won't be written about in literary
fiction, Bonfire of the Vanities was nothing but lies,
something about racism, etc.]) Next stop, Southern Cal.
****************************************** hahaha. i'll
always remember tom wolfe as author of the hippy treatise,
_the electric kool-aid acid test_, but
_bonfires of the vanities_ was a pretty big hit too. its
about a rich dude that does a hit-and-run on a black guy in
the bronx.
george has stated on the list that the book is a lie cuz it
says that racism is a rich person's problem. at least i think
thats the way it goes.
and whats that! southern cal! better get your pelecanos books
and head for the store, mark! ;-)
