Juri,
Re your commetns below:
"Jim Doherty points out that there are several hard-boiled
authors that are very anti-Leftist: Spillane, Prather, Warren
Murphy. Jim probably kicks my butt for saying this, but even
though I like some of Spillane, Prather and Murphy, I don't
find them very humane writers. Spillane is quite far from
humane and something I'd call understanding of human
reactions, and Prather, while very funny at his best, is not
really interested in real people's actions."
You seem to think that I'm arguing in favor of a particular
viewpoint. I'm not. I'm arguing against the notion that
hard-boiled is inherently leftist, and suggested the first
three writers who came to mind who were famously NON-leftists
as evidence of this.
You also seem to be suggesting (though I could drawing a
mistaken inference) that to be anti-Marxist is to be
inhumane. I reject this notion completely and utterly.
JIM DOHERTY
