My first reading of the first ten pages of Two Trains Running
left a sour taste, so I re-read them last night and the only
word I can think of is "surench�re" which is French for
something like "overbearing" &
"overwraught" combined...This constant deluge of characters'
descriptions as more tough, more vicious, more menacing, more
beat up, more, more, more...it's like a parody...or like
recent films such as Sin City, Matrix...(and the connection
between vachss and comics is of course relevant as somebody
else pointed out)...maybe your statement is highly
appropriate: one book too many...I'll push with Two
Trains...but I don't know how long I'll go facing more
lantern jawed, bull necked, iron-colored eyes...men
anymore...without laughing...Reading this after Durrenmatt is
quite an experience!...
