I read PRELUDE TO A CERTAIN MIDNIGHT a few years back and it
certainly qualified as bleak, but I remember at least some of
the cast of characters were likable, whereas with NIGHT &
THE CITY everyone you're introduced to (in the first half of
the book at least) is either reprehensible or pathetic and
the main character, Harry Fabian is a pimp and blackmailer
who is thoroughly dishonest with himself as well as everyone
he meets--being stuck in his head can be pretty disturbing. I
definitely recommend the book.
