<<i don't exactly know how to say this... let me try.
gores generates the excitement and fear and danger of
violence thru a quick and clean description, instead of
pumping the narrative up with a bunch of emotionally charged
adjectives and sentences. the contast between his unflinching
description of the action and the actual action itself serves
to accentuate it.>>
Very well put. He's the contemporary Hammett. The same
detached and nonchalant tone, a similar sense of humor, the
same skill in condensing the action. His characters are more
fleshed-out than Hammett's, in keeping with the style of
modern crime fiction.
I am glad you enjoyed this book.
Best,
MrT
