**Spoiler Policy**
I have one ep to go. One. Then it's over. So please please please don't post anything to do with what happens in the last ep. Til Sunday night.
So, I've been reading Pelecanos, Price and Lehane as a side project to S5 of The Wire, although I'd read some of their stuff before I'd seen the show (I love a good pOlice novel). Been struck not only by the fact American crime writing is telling these important stories - while the rest of the media churns out paedo scare stories and Midsomer Murders police procedurals - but also the fact whole scenes from novels by Price and Pelecanos in particular are replicated in The Wire.
This is not in any way a criticism - I've some thoughts on why - but whaddy'all think? Any takers? |
