William Denton said: pre-1930 (make your case for
proto-hardboiled writers)
*********** I'm reading THE SNARL OF THE BEAST right now. I'm
thinking that as far as hardboiled novels, the reading list
before 1930 is sorta thin, isn't it? Carrol John Daly and
Hammett are the only ones I can think of. Hemingway was
writing in this period, but, except for TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT,
I don't really consider his novels hardboiled, and I believe
it came out after 1930.
Can anybody help me with a list of some pre-1930 hardboiled
novelists? I stress novelists because I'm just not much of a
short story reader.
thanks, miker
