He's fascinated by the little actions and gestures that cause big problems. Because, when Nora announces her feelings for him, and Austin chooses neither to take advantage of her nor to brusquely brush her off, but to be kind to her, he makes her love him more.
Because he's not quite assertive enough to speak up against his blustery, bullying business partner, he lets damaging gossip escalate. Meanwhile, in his marriage — Maxwell's dissection of which might remind Richard Yates fans of a proto- Revolutionary Road — Austin is forever the one kissing the cheek, never the one offering the cheek to be kissed. As this — along with much else in Austin's life — deteriorates, Maxwell seems to see it as his job to tell the full story, outlining all the nuances that contribute to a mini-catastrophe, and will often get glossed over during even the most well-meaning prurient chat.

Lovecraft, and he revealed to me that he wrote this novel under his secret pen name, J. It is now no longer a secret!
The book has now been reprinted with S. Joshi's name of the cover. The novel is a superb noir novel, and its prose reflects the pure masculinity of its author. The series are called "Historical Mystery" novels, and are set in the time of American's Depression.
Some time ago I had a wee live interview with Joshi on my YouTube channel, and when I expressed my admiration in his skill at giving the book an accurate sense of its era, he said that he had worked diligently to capture the atmosphere of that time in this country's history.
