And it's funny, I find that people frequently diminish reading fiction reading as a "trivial" pursuit, but the forces grappling in these texts are laid bare so much more openly than in non-fiction.Michelle Gagnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757760335203540717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549527447529902973.post-54183231568323828642008-11-26T14:52:00.000-08:002008-11-26T14:52:00.000-08:00Thank you for this.Thank you for this.John McFetridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442198820998606682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549527447529902973.post-44919711970692577502008-11-26T11:10:00.000-08:002008-11-26T11:10:00.000-08:00Very nicely said and, by coincidence or otherwise,...Very nicely said and, by coincidence or otherwise, a nice fit with my comment today about Naguib Mahfouz, that Nobel Prize winner who liked detective stories and wrote at least one fine noir in his career.<BR/>==============<BR/> Detectives Beyond Borders<BR/>“Because Murder Is More Fun Away From Home”<BR/> <A HREF="http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">http://detectivesbeyondborders.blogspot.com/</A>Peter Rozovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977933481463759162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549527447529902973.post-26037392936978672742008-11-26T10:13:00.000-08:002008-11-26T10:13:00.000-08:00Wonderful, Ali!

Also quite perfect for the "Existentialist Man" to be quoting Camus, dontcha think! <BR/><BR/>"A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images." <BR/><BR/>Wow and thank you.
