—Because of this book—
***
Never before
have I read
an Ed McBain novel
so slowly:
46 pages in 36 hours
I've read
thirty of his books,
virtually all
within two days
Page burners?
YES
but each one
was very satisfying,
exhilarating,
+
knee-slappingly
delicious story telling
At the present rate,
will take me
a month of Sundays
to finish
as if
I
were wearing
and pulled the damn thing down
to cover my eyes
But
—hypothetically—
let me say
this about that:
if
YOU
paid money
to take a course
entitled
Survey of 20th Century
American Fiction
and
it did not include
ED McBAIN
or
or any other
of his
T
H
E
N
YOU
too
are
an
!!!
