Hi:
I just finished reading my first story by Fredric Brown,
"Obit for Obie," in the anthology "Pure Pulp." I loved the
story for several reasons, partly because it's about a
newspaper reporter, which is my day job. Does anyone know if
Brown's short stories have been anthologized? He has a
wonderful ear for dialogue, and his prose is lean and hard.
The intro mentions three novels, "The Fabulous Clipjoint,"
"The Screaming Mimi" and "The Far Cry," which I plan to seek
out. Any others worthy of mention?
Hugh
