    I never heard of him, which is a vote for read it and report back. Joy

Every time I crack open one of the books to a random page I really enjoy what's there -- smart, quickly-paced, funny, dark -- but I'm just so consumed these days with things I HAVE to read, I get so little time for pleasure reading. Should I kick this collection (all 3 books in a MacAdam Cage volume, probably OOP now, given the fate of the publishing house) to the top of my TBR pile? He wrote my favorite story in San Francisco Noir, and I feel like a putz for not having read him yet.
