Al Guthrie gives some 1940's recommendations...
************ Thanks for you comments, Al! I haven't even read
them yet, but I will. What I wanted to mention is that I'm
right now reading a couple that I think you recommended,
Homes's BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH and Kersh's PRELUDE TO A
CERTAIN MIDNIGHT. I'm well into the Kersh one and it's pretty
offbeat, but I'm loving it. Strange bizarre characters that
sorta remind me of Nathanael West's stuff. The Homes's book I
just started.
On another note, I saw Red Dragon today. I expected a lot
because I absolutely loved Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs,
but it was a disappoint- ment. It wasn't nearly as good as
the first adaptation (Manhunt or Manhunter?).
Thanks, miker
