book of the week

A long time ago on the street 
in the Seattle U-District
someone told me I had to read
Oliver La Farge's book
LAUGHING BOY.
I have finally got around to it.

Last weekend I watched 
THE SPANISH CAPE MYSTERY (1935)
My favorite part about it is
it's from a novel by Ellery Queen
who is the fictitious author who also
stars in the movie AND his 
traveling companion is reading 
a book by him as well!
Furthermore, the California sheriff
sarcastically refers to him as 
Chan and Philo (as in Charlie Chan
and Philo Vance) two other 
fictitious detectives who also 
have their own film series. 
You need a detective to keep 
track of the layers of reality.
