Book Reviews of Pick-up
Book Review: absurdist noir
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't miss this one. This absurdist noir story is from 1955, but it's amazing how it resonates today. There is absolutely no one like Willeford. I'm finding that his early "pulp" works like this one are just as profound and meaningful as his later "successful" books.
The fun thing for Willeford readers is going through the abundance of published work over four decades. The man was amazingly prolific. Some of his earlier books have been re-printed; some are hard to find.
Willeford is the boss!
