Burroughs is always worth reading. What he lacked in subtlety
(everything) he made up in force and momentum. I find him
compulsively readable. Not that long ago, I read an essay by
Vidal in which he echoes these marvellous insights of
mine.
Since we are monthless, how about a Max Brand month? He was
hardboiled, he wrote tons of books and stories, and, at least
in the US, his stuff is easily available. Especially his
westerns.
Did he farm out? Just asking.
Best,
MrT
