>>My point was simply that criminal point of view
narratives are different
from detective point of view narratives. I used the label
'crime writing' since that's how Jason Starr, Russell James
and Elmore Leonard have all referred to it, and that's high
enough country for me.<<
Wit's End will label Al's terrific first novel -- TWO-WAY
SPLIT -- as Crime Fiction when it is published in the first
quarter of 2004. I know that everybody who enjoys Leonard,
James and Starr will get a kick out of this knuckle sandwich.
Some rara-avians may know the book from its earlier
incarnation as KISS HER GOODBYE.
And to keep up with monthly themes, we have also acquired a
collection of short fiction by James Sallis -- A CITY EQUAL
TO MY DESIRE -- that has both crime (including a homage to
Jean-Patrick Manchette) and speculative fiction... this is
unlikely to be out by February, but also in the first quarter
of '04. I shouldn't really make ay time statements
considering how late we are in our schedule, but as this
exists in an edited digital form the progress may be swifter
than it was with the two Willeford's.
