I think I've read and enjoyed everything by Sallis; in my
opinion, the author he most resembles is Albert Camus. His
tool is showing the introspection of a struggling protagonist
in an ugly and hostile urban setting. Few of his characters
are dumb or vicious. However, almost all of them are
desperate.
A great realist writer, if by reality we mean psychological
reality.
Best, and there's more coming but I've lacked the time to
reread Sallis.
