Miker,
IMO you can forget B. Traven's work, not easily
readable.
Of course, as I don't read German fluently, I
could not check the version of Death Ship that he first
published during the twenties. Many versions, many also
"reduced" by editors…
I think that looking for a work on his life will
be far more interesting. It's a real saga.
There were also two very good documentaries (for
TV) depicting his life, works… and explaining once for all
the identity problem and its solutions.
But I do not have the ref for the documentaries
any more.

Michael Robison <
miker_zspider@yahoo.com> a 飲it : I'm on vacation down
in Jacksonville, Florida, and I've been visiting some of the
used bookstores down here. Checked out the Tappin Book Mine
today and walked away with The Real Cool Killers. That place
is always good for classic hardboiled. I've been thinking I
might want to walk through the whole series after reading
Cottom Comes to Harlem several years back. They had Traven's
(sp?) Death Ship, but after thumbing through it, I didn't
think it looked too exciting.
