    MacDonald is obviously playing with the famous quote (attributed to Dostoevsky) "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'"

    I like the analogy, though. And I've enjoyed lately the threads for the titles of some south of the border noir to look up.

    Has anyone ever done a caricature of this, with Chandler, Macdonald, Spillane and others crawling out under of a black mask, held by Dashiell Hammett?
