Hi Chris-
Thanks for the laugh! Wouldn't it be richly ironic if Pelecanos reviewed
one of MY books? Don't forget though that since I gave up on reading his
canon I have made a point of lauding his screenwriting for shows such as THE
WIRE on multiple occasions! I think he does a great job in that medium.
Thanks again for the laugh, and for the kind words.
Brian
