I got the back issues of Crime Time that I ordered a couple
weeks ago. They're coming out in a trade paperback size now.
I read a little more of Kersh's PRELUDE TO A CERTAIN MIDNIGHT
at lunch and put it down so I could look over the Sherlock
Holmes back issue of Crime Time. I hesitate to base judge-
ment on a single issue, but Crime Time appears to be the kind
of magazine that would appeal to many here. Woody Haut writes
about Edward Anderson (THIEVES LIKE US). There's an interview
with George Pelecanos, Kathy Reichs, Tami Hoag, and a half
dozen others. Scott Phillips has an article. Authors com-
monly talked about here, like Russell James, Charles
Willeford, and William Lindsey Gresham are mentioned.
Lawrence Block does a short but entertaining interview with
Matthew Scudder. I see Hemingway, Chester Himes, Nathanael
West, Harry Crews, Ross MacDonald, Horace McCoy, James Cain,
Woodrell, Goodis, and Jim Thompson mentioned.
By the way, who is John Franklin Bardin?
There's 208 pages in this edition, and the advertisements,
all crime lit related, take up a VERY small proportion of the
magazine.
Complaints? The print is a bit small, but it's sharp and not
too bad.
