I r...GUN, WITH OCCASIONAL MUSIC is a fabulous book. I read it when it first came because the illustration on the cover alone grabbed my attention. The plot blurb was even more fascinating and the book lived up to all its promise and more. I happened to be in the library when I first saw it. When I checked it out from the CPL I'll never forget that the clerk looked at me and the book cover and then said the title aloud and shook his head while processing it for me. I got a dirty look too as icing on the judgmental cake. You'd think people who work in a library would be less contemptuous of the public's reading taste AND would be the most likely to live by the adage "Never judge a book by its cover" taken to its most stringently literal extremes. But...it's Chicago. Passing judgment and dishing out disdain on strangers is practically a birthright here.<br /><br />Was watching movies last night and I'm too busy at work today. I'll have my contribution for this week posted in the early evening.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-20539907317177450462018-06-15T11:20:08.378-04:002018-06-15T11:20:08.378-04:00Thanks, Patti.
As I'm prone to note, Lethem ...Thanks, Patti. <br /><br />As I'm prone to note, Lethem (whose work I've continued to admire and enjoy) is my exact contemporary, and even more tellingly was in the same class at Bennington as Donna Tartt and Bret Easton Ellis, but dropped out. I doubt this directly resulted in his being a much better writer than either of the others (vastly better than Ellis), but it probably did affect how long it took for him to gain widespread attention...he was already getting serious attention in that literary community for his earliest published work in SF. <br /><br />Among those who have done some notable work in fantasticated crime fiction...well, how far back do we go? John Dickson Carr at latest? Poe? Kate Wilhelm (DEATH QUALIFIED is a great place to start with her thus). Ron Goulart, Kim Newman, Sharyn McCrumb, not a few suggest THE CAVES OF STEEL is Isaac Asimov's best novel. Macia Muller and Bill Pronzini. James Lee Burke...has Joe Lansdale written a novel that isn't also a western that mixes things just so?Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
