I realized, upon re-reading my last post in this thread, that
I posed my question in a very roundabout way. So, here it is
again, straight and to the point (I hope):
Gores's economy of word use - is it consistently more
pronounced in his stand alone work than in his DKA books, and
if so is this directly associated with the recurring revenge
theme in the former?
Thanks. Harry
