I have it in a book, legitimately bought from a bookstore.
As far as a plot archetype, it's more of a Keyser Söze story than anything. It's a short story, hard to really develop the characters.
It's also a story within a story, so it's hard to tell who the main character is.
If anything, it's the Outlaw Myth: the hero has stumbled and fallen and is using his one virtue to find redemption. Except there is no redemption nor any attempt to obtain it.
Turns out, you can read it online.
It's a story almost devoid of plot, entirely based on fleshing out a single character and then twisting the plot. It's fine for a short story, but for a feature-length movie, a little thin.
Would make a good short, maybe.
