I like the way he writes  Pithy

Pithy? That’s quite a compliment.

For crime fiction noir  Irish   More than I imagined

Who’s this?

Bruen  Ken Bruen

                     Not only pithy but apercu liberally scattered throughout

What?

Apercu

You said, I asked what? A learning moment would ya?

I apologisedidnt mean to assume   Youre well read

Thank you, but you tend to hammer down are more granular than I am, or more so than my attention is willing to withstand.

Thas a curious  willin to withstand

It’s the truth.

                  Apercu.

Enunciated well

Thank you.

Means comments brief references  Making illuminating entertaining points

                                                                                An reading its occurred to me many of his references are factual not madeup not fiction Unique in crime writing to my experiencealbeit  my limited experience

But you read fiction, as you’ve said, like candy, to treat to yourself.

Yes I love my nonfiction the science physics history politics psychology philosophy

                                                                                        But then I need to change it up

How many books in ten are fiction?

They tend to be scifi though recently crime  Bruens draggin me back in  When I was younger I read Chandler Hammet Himes Highsmith McCoy Cain Fearing recent Mosley Ellroy Winslow caught his eyes wandering not granular I coud go on

You didn’t answer my question.

No I didnt Was getting lostmusing of the great stories Ive read

                                                                  Perhaps   Obsessing Yare not one to interfere in ones obsessions arya

Thas unlike you babe

Isn’t it though?

Hint

      Like . . . profound.

Thas heady  Not our usual trek

No. It’s not.

              There’s another word that’s escaping me.

Pivotal.

Thas a good word but by the expression on your face not the word youre searching for

A pivotal . . . moment.

This is like an audiooral crossword

                                      A pivotal moment

Like that, yes.

   An epiphany . .

Jeez.  Now I’m sidetracked.

Want me to backup the train see if we can find the siding

Train?

Train of thought

Ah.   Clever.

               No.

An epiphany a startling bright light Abombbright  etching shadows onto concrete  rocks

That’s a devastating appraisal of an epiphany.

Thas how they occur to me

                             But then as screwy as my mind works one coud argue I had it comin

You’ll have to admit you are curious.

As long as I made you curious  Im good

I believe one must be assertive a preexisting condition  before they can effectively confront someone

                                                                                                            Which is why youre lousy at it

   Lousy?

Yah frankly both  Youre neither assertive nor confrontational they do not exist in your makeup blame your folks

My folks? What’s that supposed to mean?

Wha woudya suppose it to mean
