>> Everything we read is 1920-60, so no Vachss. We
are reading Mosley at the end, though, as an example of
contemporary revision of the 40s-50s p.i. novel. Gotta go
prepare to teach *Maltese Falcon* tomorrow.<<
What a coup to have Mosley representing contemporary
hardboiled. He is
one of the finest writers to have emerged in the past decade.
I just
finished reading his "A little yellow dog", which I found to
be even
better than the previous entries in this outstanding series.
This guy
belongs in the pantheon (he is a relatively young
man!!)
