There is one, in French. I have not seen a copy: Philippe
Garnier,
_Goodis: La Vie en Noir et Blanc_ (Paris: Editions du Seuil,
1984). See
James Sallis, "David Goodis: Life in Black and White," _High
Plains
Literary Review_ 7.1 (Fall 1992): 27-53. There is a fine
appreciation by
Geoffrey O'Brien in the Black Lizard paperback edns of
Goodis.
