Read in December, 2007
I know it's a "pulp" noir novel from the '50s about the '30s, but I think this one works on a number of levels that I didn't completely pick up on. It was a fast read - I read it in less than a day, but it was certainly a page-turner. I have another Goodis on loan from a friend and I'm excited to see how that one compares to this. All in all, a good, short, compelling read.
