It's nice to see an Irish director who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty with a little populist entertainment, and who makes such good-looking films.

For some ...John, congratulations on the nomination. For some reason I always think of you having won lots of awards.<BR/><BR/>As for proper novels, I read an interview with Jonathan Kellerman (I think it was in <I>Crime Time</I>) and he spoke about how people would tell him he was such a good writer that he should write a literary novel. To which he would reply, "You mean write the same thing as I do now but without a plot?"Stuart Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349998328428656218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-1170823685548788962007-02-06T20:48:00.000-08:002007-02-06T20:48:00.000-08:00No one, and no book, could deserve the recognition...No one, and no book, could deserve the recognition more.

I also must admit that what drew me to your writing in the first place was a remainder copy of TKK and then searching out a first edition of EDT and then, well of course, the rest.<BR/><BR/>TBOLT was as much of a departure as Nocturnes, and to some extent, Bad Men (in the sense of two of the novels having degrees of difference from the Parker novels... and TBOLT a total departure.) I view those differences as being a signpost to depth of talent.<BR/><BR/>I found TBOLT as energizing and original as any of the rest... and then some.<BR/><BR/>It seems,in light of your body of work, and the obvious depth of imagination and quality of thought, that the nomination (and the awarding of the prize) is well overdue.TomHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805041866275759669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22537743.post-1170685241210243222007-02-05T06:20:00.000-08:002007-02-05T06:20:00.000-08:00John, what did you think of Starter for Ten?

I thought the scenes at the Harbinsons house were some of the funniest things I've read in years.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I wrote a muddled critique of Lost Things over at Contemporary Nomad a while back, the upshot of which was that I wasn't sure whether I liked it or not. But I've recommended it to countless people since, listed it among my 2006 faves for Crimespree and many aspects of it are still compellingly stuck in my mind. So whatever you did there, it gets my vote.Kevin Wignallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387105790403552165noreply@blogger.com
