If you'd given me this book without an author's name on it, I'd have told you Feiffer did it. His drawings always fascinated me as much as the sarcasm, the fake ennui, insights into people's motives, and personas he'd put on to skewer people who needed skewering. So, yeah I liked this story. There's a meaty, dirty, real story here, with realistic people, exposed for who they are, and let the consequences hit them on the head, as they fall unconscious into the river. Noir, with Feiffer artwork to accompany it. What more could I ask for?
