RARA-AVIS: this week's reading

Any comments on this week's reading? I'm particularly
interested in
hearing what people thought about the rather bleak Sampson
story. I
think I liked thinking about it more than reading it. The
opening,
however, seemed particularly strong--that TV description seemed
pretty
disorienting. What I found strange was just how aimless the
story
was--no gimmick, no twist, no change (except the small effort
of the
last sentence). In spite of the violence of the hard-boiled, I
think of
it as a little more fun, a little more ironic perhaps, than
this
story--which isn't to say that I didn't like it, but I think I
liked it
as something else.
