Curt M. Allen-Little, in real life, is Director of the Graduate Liberal Studies Dance Programs at UNCWilmington. In fantasy life, however, he is a crime writer in league with Mickey Spillane, Dashiell Hammett, James Cain and Patricia Highsmith. But that's fantasy. Take one of his dance classes. Not one of his writing classes.

Book Review:
|
|
A teasingly subtle, erotically surcharged, and provacatively post-modern romance. The Chicken Chronicles parodies, if only on the surface, the grand, if unnerving and unsettling tradition of classic American Noir fiction. It does have a gratuitously self-serving bent toward theoretical obfuscation.
