This segment is from early on in The Black Echo<\/em>, the first in the Bosch series of detective novels by Michael Connelly. I\u2019ve watched all of the TV adaptation, and figured I would give one of the books a read, prompted in large part by an article in the Los Angeles Times<\/a> by Sue Horton about the centrality of that city (which I have a strong affection for, though I\u2019ve never lived there) to Connelly\u2019s books. There are 25 Bosch volumes to date. That\u2019s a whole lot of Los Angeles, though then again, Los Angeles, nearly four million people spread out over nearly 500 square miles, is a whole lot of city. <\/p>\n

The earliest Bosch novel is old enough that the technology here is noticeably pre-modern. In a subsequent scene in the same book, Bosch\u2019s partner, Jerry Edgar, waits for a \u201cmachine\u201d so he can take care of writing up the day\u2019s reports. The \u201cmachine\u201d is not a computer but a typewriter, of which there aren\u2019t enough in the department to go around. When a computer does enter the picture, along with it comes a dedicated human operator, a signal to the reader of how unusual such an object was back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The first Bosch book was published in 1992, by which time I\u2019d had a computer \u2014 two or three, that is \u2014 for well over a decade. But the workplace, especially the city government workplace, was and remains a different setting from a home office. <\/p>\n

What struck me about this particular section of The Black Echo<\/em> is how carefully Connelly describes all the details of phone communication: the checking of the pager, the approach to the pay phones, the required coins, and perhaps most importantly, the way meaning can be construed from interactions, like here how quickly Bosch\u2019s partner picks up the phone. This is the sort of writing that someone engaged in historical fiction might work hard at, getting all the micro-interactions, all the object names and uses, exactly right. What\u2019s great is that Connelly did it at the time, writing about the sort of technological interfaces that can get lost as time proceeds \u2014 a lesson that those writing today, fiction and non-fiction, should keep in mind, as the technology of communication continues to change rapidly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
