On the surface, Donald “Richard Stark” Westlake and British author Geoffrey Household would seem to have little in common. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find . . . they still have little in common—beyond the fact that they both wrote thrillers, Westlake/Stark wrote a novel called The Hunter, and Household often featured hunters in his books. However, if you’re unfamiliar with Geoffrey Household, his work is certainly worth a look if you like well-written, stylish spy and crime thrillers. And it just so happens I’m blogging about him at the moment over on Existential Ennui. I’ve got two posts up thus far—one on Household’s best-known novel, the 1939 classic Rogue Male (or as it became in the 1941 movie adaptation, Man Hunt), the other on the little-known sequel to Rogue Male, Rogue Justice—with more to come. So if you have a spare moment or two, why not pop along and join in the fun . . .
