ust finishing up "The Yiddish Policeman's Union" by Michael Chabon, read a few of his books but this is the best, real sharp, noir thriller stuff
That's a great book, also try Kavalier and Klay, which is also brilliant. That's reminded me I need to read some more of his stuff.
Just finished Bad Vibes, Luke Haines' autobiography of the Auteurs in the time of Britpop. He's a funny writer, very knowing about his own bitter, deluded arrogance and pleasingly bitchy about the other no-marks of the era.
yep, they are next on my list. It's such a fine line between writing a pastiche of Ellroy, Chandler etc and instead writing something fresh but completely of a style....
