The rabbit being comparable titles recently
published. I'm unwilling to fall into this chasm of nothingness. I read older
books—masters who paved the way. Most crime writing today is watered-down
bullshit meant not to offend. Writing pure doesn't cause offense. Instead, it
offers a more accurate snapshot of how life was and is—not how we would like it
to be to make ourselves feel justified and superior and enlightened. Do we
really believe that someone living on the fringes wants to read some whitewashed
dribble? Do you think they cannot handle the language involved—the language
which is theirs, to begin with?
Ignorance is one thing. Naivete is another.
