I ask because I started reading "Caught Stealing," and right from the start the violence was non-stop, like in the other book. The other book was very graphic and grisly. So, I deleted it after 25 or 30 pages. Sometimes that much violence is too much for me.

I haven't read any other Huston books but that is the same character. "Caught Stealing" starts out with him in his early 20's working as a bartender in NYC. Two guys come in and order drinks then beat him up so bad he losses a kidney as a result. Rest of the book is equally violent. Oh and he dos mention his parents back in California.
I don't plan to read any more of his.
