I'm assuming it's ERB. If so, the statement that he used a lot of ghosts is a revelation to me.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1131031532601597142005-11-03T09:25:00.000-06:002005-11-03T09:25:00.000-06:00"Tarzana Nights" is one of the best pulp memoirs e..."Tarzana Nights" is one of the best pulp memoirs ever published, right up there with Frank Gruber's THE PULP JUNGLE (which grew out of his intro to the collection BRASS KNUCKLES, a great book in its own right). But to get back to Bonham, it's a shame that "Ed Oliver Ratt" employed so many ghostwriters. At his best, he was perhaps not a really good writer, but certainly a powerful and vivid one. I've read several of the novels he actually wrote, and despite their flaws, I still remember just about everything in them, something I can't say about many books that I regarded as much better at the time.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.com
