| Discussion: Alan Furst Just starting reading Dark Star and looking for discussion and information on author and background of book. >>By Pitmanite Alan Furst His first three books are not really very distinguished. They are about drug culture hijinks & not about WWII. They can be pretty much overlooked (He has agreed in interviews.) except by fanatical readers like me.. Your Day in the Barrel, 1976 Paris Drop, 1980 The Caribbean Account, 1981 This next book is transitional. It's a Spy novel set in the late 70's. Not bad. Shadow Trade, 1983 This is where the really good stuff begins... Night Soldiers, 1988 Dark Star, 1991 The Polish Officer, 1995 The World at Night, 1996 Red Gold, 1999 Kingdom of Shadows, 2001 Blood of Victory, 2002 >>By dac Even though he does occasionally reference characters from earlier WWII novels in later works, it's not really necessary to read them in order. The exception is The World at Night & Red Gold which are essentially one long book. >>By dac Here's a link to a good interview... http://www.identitytheory.com/people/birnbaum9.html >>By dac looking forward to his new book. i just bought murder in the bastille by cara black because he gave it a great blurb...in fact he recommended all the books in her parisien series. >>By happy37 You are not logged in.
