Title: Pass This Pulp Tale By
Review: Anyone who is going to embrace this story as classic pulp fiction is deluded. Sure, it has the drinking, the broads, the fights, and the big city setting, but there is not enough in the tale or any of the characters to make the book matter. I have collected the Hard Case Crime series and am reading through them. THere are a lot of hits, but I'm telling you that when the miss there is no middle ground: they miss by a mile.The only interesting thing was seeing characterizations of Truman Capote and the legacy of Hemingway.Forget this one. Pass it by.
