I went over to new issue of NOIR ORIGINALS. This issue covers
the crime writer, James McKimmey, and is a substantial one.
The letter from his friend, John D. MacDonald, is well worth
the price of admission. Also, the long, meaty interview is
interesting. A tip of the fedora to editor Al Guthrie and all
the contributors, some also fellow rara-avians.
I also finished reading Charles Williams' AND THE DEEP BLUE
SEA
(1971), another of his rousing seafaring yarns. Buried in the
narrative, Mr. Williams philosophizes a bit about the Vietnam
War and other modern angst, using his protagonist as a
mouthpiece. As far as I know, this marks the only CW title to
be nominated for an Edgar (Best Paperback Original,
1972).
