    <body><![CDATA[The NY Times called James Sallis's <em>Drive</em>, &quot;a perfect piece of noir fiction,&quot; but as usual they've got their heads up their asses, since <em>Drive</em> is a book that would be more accurately described as, &quot;a perfect piece of shit.&quot; Sallis is actually a pretty good writer line-by-line and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/660004">more...</a>]]></body>
