Erle Stanley Gardner / Cool and Lam

Cool and Lam

  

Erle Stanley Gardner was a prolific dynamo. In addition to writing 85 best-selling Perry Mason books over five decades, he also wrote hundreds of great pulp magazine stories and – under the pen name A.A. Fair - a series of hardboiled crime stories about the Cool & Lam Detective Agency. Big Bertha Cool figures most men will never call a woman for a private eye job, so she lists her business as B. Cool Detective Agency. When disbarred lawyer / wunderkind Donald Lam comes to work for her, nothing is ever the same again. It has been suggested that Gardner wrote the Cool & Lam books as a break from the more laid back respectable world of his slick serialized Perry Mason stories. Cool & Lam mysteries are down and dirty, great fun to read, filled with lots of humor. They have their loyal fans, and I am one of them.

The 100 best novels / No 66 / Joy in the Morning by PG Wodehouse (1946)

For the pure unadulterated joy of drinking, you can’t really beat Wodehouse. Indeed it’s hard to beat him for pure unadulterated joy full stop. He had wonderful phrases for it – “tanked to the uvula” or “oiled, boiled, fried, plastered, whiffled, sozzled and blotto”. He also has the wonderful story of Gussie Finknottle’s first encounter with alcohol. Gussie is a shy man who is shyly in love with Madeline Bassett. But he doesn’t have the nerve to propose to her. Bertie tries to persuade him that a stiff drink will give him the requisite Dutch courage. Gussie refuses and Bertie decides to spike Gussie’s orange juice. Unfortunately Jeeves also decides to spike Gussie’s orange juice, and Gussie himself then decides that he’ll do as Bertie suggested and downs half a decanter of whisky, which he washes down with the doubly-spiked orange juice. The result is a new Gussie Finknottle, who acts as though he could bite a tiger. “Make it two tigers. I could chew holes in a steel door.”
