Thanks, miker. This Behm's work sounds interesting.
BTW, what was the publication date? Is he a contemporary of
Woolrich?
********** Woolrich was big in the 40s, I think. EYE OF THE
BEHOLDER came out in 1999. I surfed around a bit looking for
opinions of the book and evidently there's some thought to it
being some deep, far-reaching, mythological allegory. That
would be over the top of my head. If anybody has a feel for
that interpretation, I'd like to hear it. One review I read
said the book is about God watching over his child. I don't
know if I buy that, but there is at least one incident in the
book that leads one to believe that... I'm stopping right
there. ;-)
Out of the last 30 or so books I've read, this book is one of
the few that made me feel like immediately buying everything
else the author has written. I understand Behm is big in the
movies.
I picked the book up because Mark Sullivan mentioned it
recently when CITY OF GLASS came up. At least that's the way
I remember it. Mark also mentioned Lethem's MOTHERLESS
BROOKLYN. I got that one waiting on me, too.
