I like your stuff a lot too,
Jim, although I must confess I read them all back-to-back in
a two-week-long debauch a while back, after which I spent a
few months reading some of the names you'd dropped. This may
be part of the appeal of your stuff for me, working as a
readers' advisor in a library - I love those associative
links...
What do you - (or other
list members) - think of Jerome Charyn's Isaac Sidel stuff? I
absolutely love it, but I can't quite figure out why - it is
almost as if I'm under the influence when I read them... I
link the two of you in my mind, even though you write
dissimilar stuff, as crime writers with a difference -
writers who mess with the conventions in radical ways, and
yet remain enjoyable reads...
