Category: On Writing Fiction | 1 Comment

One of America’s literary icons died yesterday, Tuesday, Jan 27, 2009.  He won a Pulitzer Prize for his work.  If you haven’t read him, you might take this opportunity to try his Rabbit series.  For a taste of his style, the NYTimes has posted some excerpts here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/books/28excerpts.html?ref=books

    Yes, this is so sad. What a body of work and marvelous legacy he’s left behind. A terrible loss, his death is.
