I do not know if some of you are familiar with the work of
this author? One of his books got some fame:RALPH, OR WHAT'S
EATING THE FOLKS OF FATCHAKULLA COUNTY? (1978)- with rather
black humor and an off-beat plot (set in Florida).
Ned Crabb was journalist in both Florida and New York, but I
do not know neither if there are other books by this author,
nor if he still is writing. Any additional info welcome, as I
cannot find anyting more about Ned Crabb. Thanks in
advance.
By the way this could help also Claude Mesplede, famous
French "archivist" and reviewer who assembled a classic
volume about:
"The Authors of Serie Noire", in French only, with a detailed
entry for each author that was published there (recently
re-edited and updated). More amazing, he finished the
publication of a
"resume'" of each of the 2500 books published by Serie Noire
[since 1945], in 5 volumes!
He's now finishing a longer job, a kind of World encyclopedia
of the mystery novels (this time all mystery genres, and many
countries). Authors, history of the mystery novel in several
contries, themes listings, brief history of some publishers
...etc. This project will be published around October 2000
and will have 1,500 pages. But it will be only in French, for
the time being.
