Book Reviews of The Way We Die Now
Book Review: A Fitting and Unforgettable Exit
Summary: 5 Stars
I hadn't read the other Hoke Moseley stories for a while, and when I started this one, I didn't care for it. However, at a certain point a lot of apparently disconnected items came together and blew me away. Like Jim Thompson's Pop. 1280, this one just refuses to exit my mind. The last paragraph on the last page is how I want to remember Willeford; humanity buried under layers and layers of disappointment, betrayal and hurt but with an unextinguished spark of hope recognizing that nothing's perfectly imperfect.
This book should be read with what Donald Westlake says about Willeford in the Preface. Don't rush this book, and if you've liked Willeford in the past, you'll find the same gems--just arranged differently.
