Nice.
I'll second Mario's opinion. And anybody who hasn't read his
latest, "Tough Luck", should consider remedying that
unfortunate situation as soon as possible. It's a superbly
crafted example of the
keep-digging-a-deeper-hole-for-the-hero novel. A bit of
blatant self-promotion here, but only because it may be of
interest to fans on the list: Jason Starr will be the
featured author for the next issue of my website, Noir
Originals. Anyone who'd like to contribute a
review/article/essay - or who has any questions to put to him
that don't involve Halle Berry - please contact me
offlist.
