I own Dirt Farm and haven't read it, but now it's going to be the next Orrie I read. Also, Hitt really only goes into anything political in the Novel books. The Beacons, Cozys, Chariots, etc., are good old-fashioned tawdry, sordid "hardboiled sleaze". Told in Orrie's inimitable style, of course.Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-43025485208405249712009-08-31T15:48:29.926-05:002009-08-31T15:48:29.926-05:00My favorite of Hitt - I'll Call Every Monday -...My favorite of Hitt - I'll Call Every Monday - also shows a Cain influence, so you really have my interest piqued with Dirt Farm.
