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?).

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.

The Sixties seemed endless at the time!
