Hell All,
First, thank-you to everyone who responded to my query
regarding PERCHANCE TO DREAM.
Second, over the last several months I have been stocking my
bookshelf with several of Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective
stories
(specifically the Paperjacks editions). Among the titles I've
picked are BINDLESTIFF, DRAGONFIRE, SCATTERSHOT, HOODWINK and
BONES. I've finally gotten around to reading these volumes
and my first selection, purely at random, was HOODWINK.
I'm really enjoying this story with its pulp writing and pulp
writers backdrop. As a result, I'm also really looking
forward to BONES, which involves a pulp writer and his
suspicious death. All of this has peaked my curiosity
regarding other hard-boiled or noir volumes that use the
pulps, or the publishing world, as a plot device and/or
backdrop. I would greatly appreciate any and all
recommendations.
Thanks in advance for yet again letting me pick all of your
brains!
Best, Harry
