Dean Barrett Fiction |
Liu Chiang-hsin, aka Chinaman,
is a 35 year old private detective living in New York City's East Village. He is
unlucky enough to have, as his ex-father-in-law, Manhattan's Chief of
Detectives. Worse yet, Chinaman finds himself in the position of enlisting his
ex-wife's help in solving the muder of the woman she found him in bed
with—just before their divorce.
"In Chinaman, Dean
Barrett has created a private eye as laconic and street-wise ans anything from
the pen of Raymond Chandler." |

Dean Barrett Fiction |
Dean Barrett scores with the
funniest book to come out of the Vietnam War. An outrageous assembly of
characters stationed in Thailand during the mid-Sixties, coping with life in
their own distorted way. A hilarious story of true REMFs, as only Barrett can tell
it.
"This is M*A*S*H taken from behind the Korean
lines and set down in the rear-echelon of steamy Bangkok—titillated with the tinkle of
Thai laughter and temple bells. And it is an even funnier triumph of man over military
madness." |
