CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
I've read a few of his books. Have access to more. Our local library has a surprisingly impressive crime collection.

Wasn't Goodis one of the spotlight writers during noir month? I should go look for some of his books.
Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
That reminds me. The library has a nice hardbound collection of four or five of his books. If there's anything better than a good book, it's a good copy!

The novels have the same names, though Shoot the Piano Player was originally published as Down There.Wasn't Goodis one of the spotlight writers during noir month?

Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
Good point, Red. But somehow it seems that Goodis feels right in a 25 cent paperback original.
Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
I very much shared that opinion when I was younger. Now? Give me something I can see!

I've made a note to get that Goodis collection from the library. Looking forward to it!

A great big HAPPY 110th BIRTHDAY to Cornell Woolrich (though if it's a happy one, it'll probably be his first).

Happy Day to the most diabolical writer of them all! Crime fiction has never been more imaginative.

Wow ... I loved those photos and Mr. Woolrich is 110 years old ... His imagination has no boundaries ...
Re: CORNELL WOOLRICH : King of Noir
Thanks for those wonderful pictures and your comments, Jack Flavell.
I love Woolrich. What an imagination.
