The bleeding continues...

[Monte Davis]

More agreement with that last paragraph. I'm confident that BE will look
better and better as we outgrow the collective "everything changed" hot
takes on 9/11 between the event and its publication. (And who knows? Maybe
we'll recognize that Maxine, Lew Basnight, Oedipa, and even Tyrone are all
richer avatars of noir detection than Doc; I give Anderson some slack
because I think the lameness of IV was inherent before the screenplay was
written.)
