自以為是亨佛萊鮑嘉的賊

The plot's quirky premise is so unique — I wonder how Lawrence Block came up with the idea and what he wanted to explore with this character.

His delusion makes him almost relatable, but also reckless. I’m curious if others saw him as a tragic figure or just a comic misfit.

The book has a playful tone, but I was wondering how the humor impacts the tension. Does it make the stakes feel lighter or more layered?
