RARA-AVIS: Willeford as Lit...

Shane Liebling (shane@rescomp.berkeley.edu)
Tue, 4 Aug 1998 17:18:33 -0700 (PDT) I was wavering on whether I wanted to spend $$$ and time on him since I
have WAY too much other work to be doing, but I just hit one of the best
bookstores in Berkeley -> Moe's and they published their Moe's 100...
Their favorite books of all time and Willeford is on twice for _Pickup_
and _Woman Chaser_. BTW, Chandler is on there twice for
_The_Big_Sleep_ and _The_Long_Goodbye_ . They are alongside Anthony
Burgess, Joseph Condrad, Faulkner, Joyce, Kerouac, et al. I went across
the way to Shakespeare & Co. and picked up used copies of
_The_Burnt_Orange_Heresey_ and _Pick_Up_ and have read the 1st few pages
of TBOH... Willeford sure can write a psycho who really and truly
believes he is tha shit! Take care...

who is neither tarnished nor afraid... He must be the best man
in his world and a good enough man for any world.
