Earlier in the Kent Harrington's visit, someone drew a
parallel with Le Carr駳 The Spy Who Came In From the Cold. I
have recently seen the movie The Constant Gardener, also
based on a Le Carré ®ovel. Having just reread Dia de Los
Muertos, I could not help but draw a mental parallel between
the end of both books: a harrowing escape in the desert,
refugees/illegal aliens, the suicidal (or noir) hero standing
alone in the desert waiting to be gunned down... I also
likened it in my mind to Mr. Harrington's previous remarks,
in connectiong to American Boys, where he extrapolated the
killer-like behaviour of States/Governments to the one of
your ordinary bad guy in noir novels. Jean-Pierre
