I have been re-reading the Wild at Heart collection by Barry Gifford: "Sailor & Lula:  The Complete Novels".  

The Black Lizard book publishing company was founded by Barry Gifford in 1984, and specialized in the reprinting of forgotten crime fiction and noir fiction writers and novels originally released between the 1930's and the 1960's, many of which are now acknowledged as classics of their genres.

Black Lizard was acquired by Random House in 1990, and became Vintage Crime / Black Lizard.

My reading list over the past couple years is an attempt at reading, or re-reading my collection of many of these novels.  It seems appropriate that I include Gifford's novels as well.

First up, recently completed as Black Lizard / Vintage Crime #5 for 2020...  Wild at Heart #1 "Sailor's Holiday:  The Wild Life of Sailor and Lula", written in 1990.
