I've been devouring mysteries lately, but not really noir. Although, I'd like to. Jayhawk Send a noteboard - 21/10/2009 04:43:33 PM
Would you recommend a good place to start?

This sounds like it does not disappoint.

I look forward to reading your interview.


And no, Finch did not disappoint at all. Read even better the second time through.


it a good way. It was heavy reading, kinda like Gene Wolfe. How does Finch compare?


It is like that in form and basic structure, but with quite a few analogies to things as "heavy" as the American occupation in Iraq (notice how the quote I gave matches closely to what happened at that prison there?)


VanderMeer does a good job of getting his point across without being preachy (or heavy-handed).
