Reviews
On Jan 29 2011, RichardALupoff said:
Day Keene was one of the most talented writers to make the pulp-to-paperback transition in the 1950s. Along the way he wrote for radio and the screen, as well. A clever plotter and smooth stylist, he was largely and undeservedly forgotten for many years. He seems to be enjoying a long-overdue renaissance. I love his work and recommend HOME IS THE SAILOR or any of the recent collections of his short stories and novelettes that have appeared recently. A fine, talented writer -- if you've never read him before, and you like hardboiled writing, you're in for a treat!
