Oh, brother! (And I do use that "gendered" noun with
conscious intent.) Don't you think we should add quotation
marks and a great big (SIC) to that phrase "the man of our
day"? Who exactly are you talking about, anyway? And isn't
the air becoming thick with unwarrented assumptions?
Even if the conversation is limited to P.I.'s and their
novelistic sphere ... do you really believe that a primal
problem for Michael Nava's Henry Rios or Joseph Hansen's Dave
Brandstetter is that "women no longer take him
seriously"?
Pardon me while I roll my eyes just a tad ...
