This past weekend I finished reading William Lindsay
Gresham's _Nightmare Alley_ and David Goodis' _Down There_. I
was impressed by their writing styles, a certain way each
wrote books. The plots were inventive and held my attention
but I found myself just enjoying how they put words and
sentences together without a lot of flash and glitz. Is that
the mark of a hardboiled classic?
