replies: text: Profound literary genius? Are you kidding! The prose style was sophisticated and well written, I grant you, but the story was full of continuity errors (i.e. no mention of Hannibal's polydactyly), entirely shallow and filled with thinly drawn characters you don't much care about doing woefully unoriginal things. Basically, it was just a trashy, ho-hum and frequently exploitative gorefest devoid of the substance, dark wit and riveting suspense of Harris's previous thrillers. --Heslopian (talk) 02:47, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  i have the original 4th draft of the silence of the lambs manuscript  

message: Well known crime novelist James Ellroy published an introduction to a combined set of his (Ellroy's) 3 Hopkins character novels in which he states that he was inspired by Harris (L. A. Noir, 1998, isbn=978-0892966868).  Paraphrasing, Ellroy wrote that he wrote "Blood on the Moon", read Harris' "Red Dragon", decided that Harris' Will Graham was written far better than he had written Detective Hopkins and he (Ellroy) wanted a 2nd shot at writing a better Hopkins character.  Thus came "Because the Night" and "Suicide Hill" which Ellroy thought were better due to the influence of his having read Harris' "Red Dragon".   This information should be generally shared.  The source is from Mysterious Press' hardback combining of the three Ellroy novels with Ellroy's purpose-written introduction.  Coincidentally, to this (anonymous) contributor, the infromation I convey had personal meaning in that I had said to people how my two favorite fiction writers were Ellroy and Harris of "Red Dragon".  I went on to say that "Harris was kind of an Ellroy just..."  Little did I know that there was an actual connection between the two authors.  And what a connection!  Again, Ellroy wrote subsequent novels with the Hopkins character -- for the very reason that he was inspired to do as well as Harris had done with his Will Graham.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.123.216.30 (talk) 19:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
