<<I've said this here in an earlier occasion and I now
repeat it: the line coming from James M. Cain is more
interesting than the line coming from Hammett and Chandler.
We wouldn't have Jim Thompson, we wouldn't have Day Keene's
and Gil Brewer's best works etc. The other line has lots of
crappy imitators, full of empty PI bubble and overdose of
similes and supposedly funny lines. >>
Juri, I see Hammett and Chandler as quite separate 'lines'.
Stark's Parker, for instance, owes a lot to Hammett but
nothing at all to Chandler. I also think Burnett spawned a
fourth line.
