RARA-AVIS: New Member Introduces Himself
Greetings, and allow me to introduce myself briefly.
I am excited to discover this new list because I am a fan of
hardboiled fiction and don't know too many people who share my
reading tastes. I especially like so-called classic hardboiled
authors like Chandler and Hammett, the latter noir writers
like David Goodis and Charles Williams, and some of the modern
hardboiled scribes like James Ellroy who are following in Chandler's
footsteps, though don't tell him that! I recently ran a detective
fiction program for the local public library (lasted one semester) and I
had about one-third of the program focus on hard-boiled fiction.
It was successful, though many of the participants were more interested
in cozies, I discovered.
At any event, thank you for starting this list. I look forward to
reading and learning.
Sincerely,
Richard L. King
