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.
