Rara-avians : I've just received this e-mail. Do any
rare-birds out there know what this book is? I've not heard
of anything like it, the closest that I can think of is a
short story by SF author Barrington J Bayley which, IIRC, was
about a future or alien society that was based on film noir
or 40's movies & had characters with names like Humphrey
Bogart. It was probably better than it sounds, BJ Bayley is a
very imaginative & original author of SF, short stories
in particular.If anyone could help Ill pass on the info or
you can e-mail Dana directly.
