With the very personal feeling of the "part of our deep
selves", as you write about Goodis. When I'm with Ross
Macdonald, I feel like I'm with someone who has felt deep
disappointments in life, but who stills hopes that people
survive. The sympathy Archer (and Macdonald) feel towards the
youth that suffer from the stupidities of their parents is to
me very involving.
I just began to wonder whether you were really talking about
John D. MacDonald. I have trouble reading him.
