Chris wrote I'd love to hear comments from anyone else who
enjoys the Lew Griffin books like I do and I'll try to
comment more on my favorite aspects of this series
soon.
*************** I've only read LONG-LEGGED FLY, but I thought
it was good. Very intense, starting with the action in the
first few pages, and progressing to his break-down.
What did you think of the big time sweeps? I found it a
little disconcerting, but that could easily have been his
intention. And what did you think of the ending that sorta
leaves you hanging? Are we talking post-modern here?
Of the three authors he discusses in DIFFICULT LIVES, I
thought that he mose closely paralleled Chester Himes. This
is probably a weird comparison, but FLY kinda reminded me of
Behm's EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. In addition to the obvious time
warp, the protagonist is prone to confusion and seduction by
the dark side.
I've got the MOTH book on the flip side of the first one, but
haven't got to it yet.
