I agree. I also think Woolrich can be a bit woolly. But I
think both Woolly and Goody are important enough in the
history of noir fiction to have their works remain in print.
Anyway, "inferior work" has a bad press, as I keep telling my
more literary friends who are always asking me what rubbish
I'm reading at the moment.
