Currently reading, though I made a conscious effort to skip the Barry Gifford intro (I’m phobic of spoilers, and I don’t dig the mock hard-boiled persona he broadcasts). 1953 seems impossibly distant, doesn’t it? At the 25% mark, I’m struck by the narrative of doomed love / echoes of DETOUR / suggested hints of plot points to come (as the thuggish narrator forms a likely alliance with a “tramp” on the lam.). Gotta power through in order to move on to something more seasonally spooky before the month ends. #Books #Bookstodon #Noir #Pulp
