************************************* Thanks, Al! Although
that isn't specifically the collection I was looking at, it
might still have the essay in it that I was looking for. It
was a Bill Crider essay about Mickey Spillane. Hell, Al. I
need to check it out anyway. Even if it doesn't have that
specific essay in it, I might still be interested in
it.
Here recently I've been interested in some books of literary
criticism and commentary on hardboiled/noir. I got the _Lurid
Hardboiled_, and I've been reading it like a catalog, jumping
around in it instead of reading from beginning to end. And I
got a book called _The American Novel of Vio- lence_, by
Shaw. I read Dr. Shaw's comments on Cain's _The Postman
Always Rings Twice_ and wondered if we read the same
book.
