What little I've read by him (some short-stories, and criticism), I've greatly admired. Another one on the list.... (i.e., my list, of writers I must get to) |

Very sad news. The RABBIT novels are simply great. A read of a lifetime. I also read 'COUPLES' aloud to my wife when it first came out (1970?). des |

Still, the Good Lord gives and the Good Lord takes away; Heartbeat has been axed. About time, too - if only for logical reasons in that it lasted 7 years longer than the sixties actually did. |
