A review by sjbozich
The Forgers by Bradford Morrow
3.0
Yes, read it slowly for its dense prose. As many screen actors have moved to TV, so many literary authors, like Morrow, have moved to literary thrillers. Interesting first person narrative, we only hear his first name once, and never his last name. Very cultured and superior and well off.
The best part is the description of the rare book world, and forgery. Much of it has to do with Arthur Conan Doyle - I have not read him in about 30 years, and reading this makes me want to go back and read a bit of him again. Yeats the other important literary figure here.
I notice that Morrow, whose earlier novels I read years ago, has moved into this genre for about 3 books now. I hope he brings the character back again (his last paragraph about having to live looking over his shoulder, and that all the evil characters in the book are still alive at the end, indicates he has left that door open), I would read it.
