Hi Bob, that was clear, insightful and fun. I am absolutely smitten with the work of Hughes and found your presentation the clearest introduction to her work on the internet. Great job and thank you.
Hello, Bob, and thank you for this interesting and informative profile of Dorothy B. Hughes, whose The Expendable Man I discovered in the 60s, when I was in my 20s. I read several of her other books and reread them during the years. I always loved Hughes' slightly skewed version of the world and the strength and intelligence of her female characters. My favorite would have to be The Expendable Man, and then there's The So Blue Marble and Ride the Pink Pony. She wrote with uncommon brilliance and style. It would please her that her work is being made available to new generations

Why no mention of Ride the Pink Horse (1947) which was also turned in a great noir classic, and interestingly set in Santa Fe?
