Mario,
"dememorized society"--what a great expression! All too
often, I feel that
today's readers have never read anything written before the
Nineties. But
then, that's just the Reactionary Old Curmudgeon in me coming
out.
The only Kendrick I've read is one featuring his blind
detective, can't
remember the character's name or the title. I have that Ed
Jenkins
collection by Gardner but haven't read it yet. About twenty
years ago, a
couple of collections of his hardboiled Westerns came out.
_Whispering
Sands_ was the title of one, can't recall the other. But
these are great
stories, and I recommend these two volumes. Actually, I like
the Perry
Mason books, too, especially the ones from the Thirties and
Forties.
Best,
James
