 Still not convinced... September 22, 2008
Black Mask
This is my third Woolrich novel and he's just not doing it for me. I'm a big fan of Jim Thompson, Stark, Spillane and James M. Cain but it just doesn't seem to be happening for me and Cornell.
 One of his best September 10, 2007

I've been waiting for this to be reprinted for ages. A few years ago I bought a copy of it in Italian (Woolrich aficionados note, quite a lot of his stuff is available in Italian and Spanish). It took me over a month to read, and my at the end of it not only was my Italian much improved but I knew I'd read a classic. A brilliant study of guilt - perhaps comparable with Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. The Italian title is Vortice di Paura (Vortex of Fear), and to my mind that's a much better title. The "hero" starts off as a fairly ordinary sort of guy, but the way he deals with one problem creates another, the way he deals with that creates another, he descends more and more into paranoia and his actions become more and more desperate. You can empathise with him and despise him at the same time - the balance between the two changes as you get further into the book.
