Hi Nilo & others, and many thanks for tips concerning non-english h-b fiction! Please continue - this is a very interesting subject, I think. What about Turkey? I've heard rumors that there are some good h-b writers there now... Someone asked me about swedish h-b... well, sorry to say I don't know anything worth while. Even though Hammett, Chandler and Ellry are very widely read and admired here, not many have taken up the tradition. There's a danish guy though, who wrote good h-b stories taking place in Copenhagen: Dan Turell. c-m - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
