woops lent me a book of interviews of american crime writers, written in 1991, by a welshman. travels america meets the luminaries,
elmore leonard, higgins, ellroy. into the badlands its called. read it in a day, very enjoyable journalism. so i went looking for some of the writers
represented in the book and mostly they've disappeared from the shelves, even leonard who you couldnt get away from at a certain point, get shorty,
jackie brown.
but on the second day of looking i picked up a couple of higgins, friends of eddie coyle, which was his big breakout hit, made into a movie starring
robert mitchum, and a much later one called the agent. i read about 200 pages of the agent yesterday and its th best book ever written. you should read it.
