The Kinkster Bids Farewell (Sort Of)

Texas Monthly: Story Preview

Unfortunately, you can read only two paragraphs of Kinky Friedman's farewell to mystery fiction on-line. To read the rest, you have to subscribe to Texas Monthly. Let me just say that we're told by the real Kinky that in Ten Little New Yorkers [SPOILER], the fictional Kinky dies in a fall from a bridge while grappling with a murderer. The real Kinky implies that the fictional Kinkster, like another great detective who "died" under similar circumstances, might return if the public clamors loudly enough. [END OF SPOILER] And Kinky has some interesting thoughts about mysteries in general and series mysteries in particular. Maybe you can find the magazine in a library.
