A marvelous descriptive passage from John D.
MacDonald’s first Travis McGee novel, The Deep Blue Good-By (1964): |
|
Willy Lazeer is
an acquaintance. His teeth and his feet hurt. He hates the climate, the Power
Squadron, the government and his wife. The vast load of hate has left him
numbed rather than bitter. In appearance, it is as though somebody bleached
Sinatra, skinned him, and made Willy wear him. |

I read all of the Travis McGee books in the 1970 and 80's. The hard boiled tuff McGee was my favorite. This was long before I knew about the pulp magazines and the writings of so many characters like Travis. Went you look ahead to current action / trouble shooter heroes this series still is my top choice and well worth reading again.
