RIP Donald Westlake
January 1, 2009
I just heard that author Don Westlake died at the age of 75. I don't know how many of his 100+ books I've read--a dozen or so?--and I did see The Grifters, for which he wrote the script. A terrific talent. At one point in my early Internet days he and I passed some e-mails back and forth in response to some question I had. He seemed very charming and he was certainly accessible. He'll be missed.
Best,
Mark Terry
