Hendricks' characters -- at least in first three -- I

Off to re-read Woodrell.
************** There's a big difference between Nina and
Hendricks's protagonists. Nina is a triumphant comic strip
character. You can torture her all night long but give her an
opening and she'll kick your ass, drag a Harley off the
ground and ride it through a ring of fire. Hendricks's women
come from Lou Ford's neighborhood, not Superman's.
And I second Woodrell. I read GIVE US A KISS about a year
ago, and I've got TOMATO RED on the shelf tempting me. As
much as I like Hendricks, Woodrell is a couple rungs up the
ladder.
