I've said this here in an earlier occasion and I now repeat
it: the line coming from James M. Cain is more interesting
than the line coming from Hammett and Chandler. We wouldn't
have Jim Thompson, we wouldn't have Day Keene's and Gil
Brewer's best works etc. The other line has lots of crappy
imitators, full of empty PI bubble and overdose of similes
and supposedly funny lines.
