"so I had been happily reading a few chapters of Ken Bruen's
The Guards every evening before turning in, enjoying the
man's liquid prose style, when I made the big mistake of
cracking open Terrill Lankford's Blonde Lightning and
proceeded to lose two work days . . .
"I have to cop to the fact that Sunset Blvd is my favorite
movie of all time and I identify with Joe Gillis the washed
up screenwriter/gigolo to a pathetic degree."
I've already praised Blonde Lightning here (and Earthquake
Weather before it, and his Shooters and Angry Moon for that
matter).
I just wanted to point out to John that if he likes Bruen and
Sunset Boulevard, he should read London Boulevard, Bruen's
standalone, contemporary British theater (guess that should
be theatre) version of Sunset.
