While we're on a reversal theme (and getting back to books),
I recommend Martin Amis's TIME'S ARROW. He never gets as deep
as you want him to go but he sure knows how to have fun with
words. Not noir or HB, I know. But he did write NIGHT TRAIN.
I've had that one on my shelf for years, unread, bruised and
bloody from the slagging it's got from virtually every genre
fan but still standing, calling me. I suspect I'll love it.
But I'm just a little afraid to read it in case I
don't.
