I'm still alive gumshoe...
Sat on a log a few feet from the plunge over the cliff
at Triple Falls. Sat there writing haiku. It felt like an
inspirationally dangerous place to write. Hard-boiled.
on the other side of the falls there was a thin fallen tree
hanging over the falls. Try to imagine someone hanging on
for dear life. You know who I was imaginging was hanging
from it. HA HA HA.
I checke dout a book called BIRMINGHAM NOIR. short stories
of NOIR. This might be interesting. so I'll give it a try.
Have you eaver read Cornell Woolrich. Boy, he's a bleak one.
I liked the film based on his "PHANTOM LADY" novel. Worked
very well as a NOIR thriller.
When I read your PYATT books, I thought of George Macdonald
Fraser's FLASHMAN. Pyatt and Flashman are guys that play
fast and loose with the facts and what they mean. Makes for
an interesting read. You want to talk back to them and straighten
them out on the facts as you read along.
I ordered THE FINAL PROGRAMME DVD. I saw it on cable in early
80's as The Last days of Man On earth. The final programme novel
at the begining reminded me of THE DREAMING CITY in a way.
almost like a twist on the same begining played out by different
characters. Teaming up with others to storm the place and take it
over.
