However, he *did* authorize the reissue of the Chip Harrison
novels
(quite recently). "No Score" is billed on the cover as a
"mystery",
which comes close to deceit - it's a picaresque novel with no
elements
of mystery. I suppose one could call if "soft-porn", although
this is
too heavy a description of Chip Harrison's rather innocent
efforts to
get laid ( I guess the "mystery" is whether he will achieve
it or not,
and I won't spoil ir for prospective readers). I started to
write a
nostalgia review of this novel but got tired after the first
paragraph;
it's not really very good, although it shows glimpses of what
Block
would do later.
