Well, with the encouragement of this list, I read _Shame the
Devil_ while I had no e-mail for 2 weeks. The beginning is
one of those terrible setups where he introduces a bunch of
likable people who are doomed. It was so well written that I
kept on reading anyway.
I like the mean streets and the real
people, and I want to read the rest of his ouvre. So question
#1: Given that I noticed mention of names in this book that,
according to the reviews, seem to be protagonists in his new
book, should I start at the beginning of his writings and
read forward, or is any old order just fine?
#2: There's one paragraph in this
book that's utter nonsense, total baloney, and I have
anecdotes to prove it. Anybody else know which one I
mean?
