Calico JesseThe funny part about reading stories from the prohibition era, is they almost always are drinking like it isn’t the prohibition era.Only occasionally does the illegality actually come up. Been reading a collection of early Dashiell Hammett, and it only just dawned on me that the entire collection was written during prohibition. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reading</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Gumshoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gumshoe</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HardBoiled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HardBoiled</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Hammett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hammett</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DashiellHammett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DashiellHammett</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Detective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Detective</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ContinentalOp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ContinentalOp</a>

CassandraI read this on the train and found several elements really off-putting. (The racism, mostly! It is packed with more weird racist stereotypes per page than I ever would've imagined possible.)However, it did manage to make me want to read more <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hardboiled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hardboiled</a> detective-style <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiction</a>. Does anyone have any recommendations for authors who write in that gritty style but with a little more nuance/less racism? <a href="https://bookwyrm.social/book/940589/s/la-requiem-elvis-cole-novels" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bookwyrm.social/book/940589/s/la-requiem-elvis-cole-novels</a>(I don't know the good hashtags to get recs!

d4doomeKiller AKA Passion Killer, a 1965 sleaze/noir novel by Robert Silverberg (as Don Elliott). A man hires a hitman to kill his wife. Emotional and sexual betrayals follow.

d4doomeThe Naked and the Deadly: Lawrence Block in Men's Adventure Magazines is a superb collection. For me the highlights are the three Ed London PI stories and the two Evan Tanner tales.

d4doomeGil Brewer’s 1963 Memory of Passion is oddball noir fiction, drenched in lust, desperation and craziness. Bill meets a woman from his past. It’s her all right, but it isn’t. It’s not the same woman, but it is.
