Can a film or book be a Western if it's not set in the West? Around about 1969--which, I realize, is for some readers rather like the 19th century--Leslie A. Fiedler published THE RETURN OF THE VANISHING AMERICAN, in which he answers this question to the reader's profound delight. NY. Stein & Day. I'm fairly sure it's now out of print. If any publisher is reading this list, think about getting this book back into print immediately! Murray ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
