Joy: I wasn't around when DAPA-Em was named, but I believe
the story is that the "real" name of the apa is "Elementary,
My Dear APA," which somehow became DAPA-Em. Something like
that. And to put in a few on-topic remarks, the apa has in
the past done some nice work with hardboiled material. I
remember a lengthy discussion at one time of David Goodis,
which led me to read eight or ten of his books in a row and
do a commentary on each one of them. I was depressed for days
afterward, as I recall. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing what I
said, except that it would be impossible to locate it
now.
