Hosts John Cribbs & Christopher Funderburg discuss the upcoming reprint of Donald E. Westlake’s Enough, a pair of novellas that have been given the much more appropriate title Double Feature in conjunction with the re-release. The two works, A Travesty and Ordo, have been out of print for nearly 40 years despite ranking among Westlake’s very best work.

The breathless episode touches on everything from the history of Los Angeles as depicted in crime literature, the technicalities of locked room mysteries, the relationship of Westlake’s work to that of Charles Willeford as well as the strange moments when pulp fiction seems to transcend the pulp genre and transform into legit literature.
