  “I’m an atheist,” said Carpenter, in a 1975 interview.  “I don’t see any moral superstructure to the universe at all.  I consider my work optimistic in that the people, during the period I’m writing about them, are experiencing intense emotion.  It is my belief that this is all there is to it.  There is nothing beyond this.”

  george pelecanos’ “on the importance of don carpenter’s hard rain falling”

  an excellent, excellent read.

  i have no qualms at all with dusted writer talya cooper putting this as the only record on her year end list.  as a matter of fact, i respect her all the more for it.  i was thinking to myself in bed last night as i was trying to fall asleep, “wow, the vivian girls have released three LPs” and i am confident now that none of them (not even the first one, which is still a pretty solid affair on the whole) is as good as this.
