A Lost King

Posted on 08:33 by clark
 

On the bus ride in to work
I just finished reading
the first chapter of
Raymond De Capite's
A LOST KING. 
What a great book, 
amazing writing, 
looking forward to 
the rest of it.
update:
Just finished Chapter 5, 
this book's excellent!
Poetic and funny too.
I can't help but be 
reminded of John Fante.

Last weekend I watched 
THE SPANISH CAPE MYSTERY (1935)
My favorite part about it is
it's from a novel by Ellery Queen
who is the fictitious author who also
stars in the movie AND his 
traveling companion is reading 
a book by him as well!
Furthermore, the California sheriff
sarcastically refers to him as 
Chan and Philo (as in Charlie Chan
and Philo Vance) two other 
fictitious detectives who also 
have their own film series. 
You need a detective to keep 
track of the layers of reality.
