The following is from the intro to O'Brien's list of hb
books: "... I have thrown into the mix a variety of
dissimilar works, naturalistic novels, political novels, spy
thrillers, conventional whodunits: all those books that seem
to orbit near ... the hardboiled novel. My purpose has been
simply to locate the books in their chronological landscape
so that new relationships among them can be perceived."
