He knows economy and is able to write pulp without it feeling overly like pulp...at least in his early sixties work. I think, based on his stuff of twenty years later, that sometimes his writing became sloppy.<BR/><BR/>As for dialogue, I think it's tough knowing how much to twist the language for the benefit of flavor while maintaining the integrity of style. And as for toilet water. I find I like it chilled.Stewart Sternberg (half of L.P.
