At least, that's the way it is in mine. If those options don't appear on your Edit Profile page, I don't know what to suggest, but maybe someone else does.<BR/><BR/>I strongly second the motion for an Ennis Willie revival. I've really enjoyed what little I've read of his work. People have been working behind the scenes for several years to bring this about, but so far no luck, at least that I know about.

I'd be very grateful.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Frank, I'll email you directly.<BR/><BR/>I second the motion for an Orrie Hitt revival! It's long overdue. I think his writitng reveals as much, if not more, about what life was really like during the 1950's--the fear, the savagery, the maddening lack of options for women, the feeling of being (to borrow an Orrie title)Trapped--as Jim Thompson, David Goodis, and plenty of other more celebrated writers. You'll find not a hint of a "Leave It To Beaver" lifestyle in Hitt's world.<BR/><BR/>I make a motion for an Ennis Willie revival, as well. Willie's seemed like it might start about a year or two ago, with his appearance on a blog, an interview in Paperback Parade, and internet talk about re-printings, but publicly, not much has happened since then.Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-15323701341188788542009-03-13T17:44:00.000-05:002009-03-13T17:44:00.000-05:00Is this the part where we all e-mail Hard Case Cri...Is this the part where we all e-mail Hard Case Crime and ask that they bring one of his books back into print?

Nice now to have some suggested titles to pursue. Thanks for the terrific information here. Rittster, you mentioned offering some more info on Hitt. I would like to get it.
