OBA's next, & his poetry

[David Kipen]

Much as we all read longitude, etc., to get in fighting trim for m&d, what would you recommend for a '60s detective novel? 

Also, my boss made me recite a poem from memory yesterday, so I memorized the first quatrain of pale fire. What oba should I have read instead? And sorry, but whence oba?

All finest,
David

In the conventional sense of "positively identified and detained"?
