Had to use the dictionary on the word "spunk". Thanks, Keith,
but like I said the discussion is over, if you ask me. There
should be many Rara-avises, one for namedroppers, one for
obscurantists writing about the one-shot pulp writers and
lousy sixties action movies and one for two-cent theorists.
(It wouldn't help anything, since I'd still be on every
list....)
By the way, I finished "Gone, Baby, Gone" last night a bit
drunk from cheap sparkling wine (the First of May, you know).
The end was pretty strong and compensated very well the
book's shortcomings. But I'd spotted the main bad guy already
in the beginning due to the fact that there are too few
characters and the bad guy dropped from sight too early. I
use the word "bad" knowing that there were actually no
baddies in the book (except the Trett pedophiles and their
buddy and couple others). Ambivalence very well handled,
that's what the book was at its best.
