Discussing The Grifters on #perl:
<mendel> What other authors would one want to check out if one were becoming a fan of, say, Jim Thompson and Raymond Chandler? <Fletch> go to amazon and see what they reccomend.Why ask people about books when you can ask a machine? Argh.
So, anyhow, I'll try with a different audience. Hello, audience!
What other authors would one want to check out if one were becoming a fan of, say, Jim Thompson and Raymond Chandler? I'm looking for the raw American crime-story style more than the polished English mystery novel style.
(Thanks due to stimps for turning me onto Thompson when
I mentioned Chandler eons ago.)
