The second volume in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, Speaking of
Greed is a collection of short stories on the destructive deadly
sin known as greed. In addition to being the title of this
anthology, Speaking of Greed"" is also the title of Lawrence
Block's original novella that leads off this unique collection.""My
task as an anthologist in this series"", Block writes in the
introduction, ""is threefold: first, I have to pick the stories;
then I have to write a langoish novella with my four series
characters, whom we know only as the priest, the doctor, the
soldier, and the policeman; finally, I have to hammer out an
introduction"".The stories Block has chosen are delightful. His
novella delivers what he promises. And the introduction is a
heads-up plea for authors to ensure that their work will continue
to be read after they are no longer around to write any more.""
