And I think your quote comes from Ross Macdonald, writer I have great admiration for. <br /><br />Patti: you're welcome. I'm not sure if I said anything original, though.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-70305937503504130632009-07-02T04:24:11.163+03:002009-07-02T04:24:11.163+03:00For my taste, I like PI stories that are mostly ab...For my taste, I like PI stories that are mostly about the case and not about the PI. I'm reminded of something that Ross MacDonald said about his detective Lew Archer. Something to the affect of, when he turns sideways he disappears. (at least i think it is a RM quote) The meaning is clear that RM thought the detective was the vehicle thru whom to tell a story, but was not the focus himself. I like that approach. I also like short books like they wrote back in the 50s and 60s. Stories that come at you like a rife shot.Frank Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-9905301114666241282009-07-02T00:55:15.031+03:002009-07-02T00:55:15.031+03:00Nice analysis of the state of the art.
