Speaking of idiosyncratic choices, here's an excerpt from a
letter from Jon Breen that's reprinted on Ed Gorman's
blog
(http://www.edgorman.com/edsplace/index.html):
>>>In the introduction to a new reference book,
Latin American Mystery
>>>Writers: An A to Z Guide (Greenwood),
Argentine novelist Mempo
>>>Giardinelli divides some American writers who
became popular in his
>>>country into first-rate and
second-rate.
The first-rate: Horace McCoy, Frank Gruber, David Goodis,
Charles Williams, and Gil Brewer. The second-rate: Brett
Hailliday, Ed McBain, Talmage Powell, and Richard
Prather.>>>
