Horace McCoy
Another great American author. 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?', 'I Should Have Stayed Home'. Highly recommended as a change of pace from Chandler and his imitators.

Re: Horace McCoy
I have read 'They Shoot . . .' and it's a classic, not stumbled across any of his others unfortunately but I'm sure I will sooner or later, roll on that day.

He also combines the names of Horace Silver and McCoy Tyner. And that can't be bad.

That's one thing the so-called 'literary critics' never mention.

Re: Horace McCoy
only know the movie "they shoot"... always wanted to read his stuff... think my father got one or two of his books at home... will have to check!
