Frankie, I really enjoyed James Sallis' DEATH WILL HAVE YOUR
EYES but then I've been a fan of his since reading his
science fiction stories in magazines like Galaxy thiry years
ago. He popped up next in my nonfiction reading with his
excellent 1984 THE GUITAR PLAYERS.
Bill Crider mentioned Donald Hamilton and I see that but
DEATH also reminded me of Graham Greene and Barry Gifford's
PORT TROPIQUE. Is Sallis playing with the form? Sure, he
always does. But for me at least, it does not cross the line
and become precious.
