The German translation of Shooting Elvis got a glowing short notice
in the most recent issue of the monthly arts mag supplementing
SPIEGEL (I translate): "With wit, nous, and finely calibrated powers
of observation, Eversz takes his intelligent female protagonist into
the very bowels of US society - a society which ultimately puts her
to the sword as an 'asocial feminist killer'. A breathtaking 'roman
noir'. Not a thriller. No justice. No happy ending". To augment
Frank's basic details: Translated into German by Giovanni Bandini (!)
& Ditta Koenig. Publisher: Krueger-Verlag (Frankfurt am Main);
304pp, 34 DM. Further information, press clippings and reviews
can be found on the following German website:

I hope those royalties start rolling in, Robert.
While I'm here - can anybody tell me where I can most easily track
down anything by Eugene Izzi? Books in Print and the bigger general
Web bookstores don't list him. Seems you cease to exist as a writer
once you're dead in the US of A. I always thought there was a
distinction between corporeal body and the Spirit of Literature. But, I
suppose, the recently defunct are not bankable commodities for future
product, so why keep the old stuff available? Let's be ... hardboiled
... about it.
