Er, can you elaborate on this "pornographic appendix"? Not
written by Jim Thompson, I take it? When was this book line
out?
I find it incredible how these books were treated so cheaply
back in the day, the trashy covers and porno appendices and
the like. I know, that's pulp. And without pulp we probably
wouldn't have these novels. But the likes of JT are treated
as kind of "heritage" authors now, quality classic covers
etc.
Actually I'm not sure which is worse...
