Black Wings was so hyped up and I was beyond dissapointed when I read it. I don't think it had any "literary merit" in the slightest, much less all the praise they heaped on it. The Postman Always Rings Twice does the same things as does then ten times better.

not at all. if you're thinking it's "crime fiction" or whatever, it's really more of a character study of a guy who's at the absolute bottom rung of society and doesn't have any illusions about getting out. 10/10
