I didn't like this...Darrell, very nice review!<br /><br />I didn't like this book much at all, in part because I felt it moved away so much from the author's light tone and more into thriller territory. Granted, Face has all the Africa stuff, but I actually found that more interesting, plus there's a nice little English mystery in there too.<br /><br />Queer Things felt to me more like the author wanted to indict spiritualism than anything else. I can't help thinking the change in tone mirrors his conversion to Marxism. This book actually was published after he died, killed in action fighting for the Communist cause (or so he thought) in Spain. By this time Sprigg viewed his tec tales as "trash" he was writing just for the money. His important works, as he saw it, were the very heavy and dull tomes of Marxist theory. Unlike the Coles, who were Guild Socialists, Sprigg was a full bore Stalinist when he died.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349490720042926019.post-47754336086149913452012-02-14T19:09:18.729-08:002012-02-14T19:09:18.729-08:00Thanks for informing me about an author i knew not...Thanks for informing me about an author i knew nothing about. maybe I will find some of his works in a used book bin someday, or perhaps, as Les said, he will be republished.Vincennes University Librarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322589992110295538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349490720042926019.post-47789514877337077412012-02-14T15:46:34.360-08:002012-02-14T15:46:34.360-08:00Interesting post, Darrell, about an author with wh...Interesting post, Darrell, about an author with whom I'm completely unfamiliar! Unfortunately, as you say, ALL of Sprigg's books appear to be (a) out of print and (b) VERY pricey. Sigh - wouldn't it be great if these were made available by one of the POD publishers...or scanned in as e-books?<br /><br />Les Blatt<br />www.classicmysteries.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
