Pat:
<<Pelecanos' novel, "The Big Blowdown" has had a very
strong effect on me. I am so impressed by the book that I
would like someone to look at it seriously as a very
important fictional account of the immigrant experience in
the United States.>>
I agree. It made a big impression on me, too. Pelecanos is an
ambitous writer in the best sense of the word. The Big
Blowdown is a big canvas with a heart behind it. I would
recommend it not just to mystery fans but to anyone looking
for a stirring read.
Regards,
MrT
