Though they both taught at DC-area campuses I attended, I didn't get around to meeting either, as I recall. (And we all were English grads at George Mason U.)<br /><br />I suspect I will have something up and at 'em at a typically late hour.

Can't have too many books, right?<br /><br />I finally finished the huge BIG BOOK OF ESPIONAGE. The surprise for me in the last group I read was how much I enjoyed the tales by people who would not make my favorite authors list but who knew how to move a story along quickly: E. Phillips Oppenheim with his "The Donvers Case" (the first story in his collection THE ADVENTURES OF MR. JOSEPH P. CRAY) and Edgar Wallace for "Alexander and the Lady" (from THE ADVENTURES OF HEINE). Oppenheim's Cray is a rich American just back from World War I (to London) with the money and ability to help out people, more or less on a whim. Wallace's "hero" is actually a German spy, for whom things don't go exactly as planned in this story.<br /><br />Also reading JEWISH NOIR. Not all the authors are Jewish. I enjoyed Gary Phillips's "Errands" and Eddie Muller's "Doc's Oscar."Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-84587506358826568012021-01-20T07:21:39.278-05:002021-01-20T07:21:39.278-05:00Oh, this does sound really chilling, Patti.
