BTW, has anyone read Ethan Coen's short story collection,
Gates of Eden? Some of the stories are noir-ish and all of
them have the trademark Coen brothers humor. I read in an old
interview with The Onion that Ethan wasn't planning on
writing more books but he just published a story on the
latest issue of Zoetrope. I haven't read that one but I
recommend Gates of Eden.
