This week I went off-topic, launching what I hope will be a fun new place for me and anyone else to hang out. Also:
- Crime fiction ghostwriter Donald Bain is dead at 82. https://t.co/5XWEkwHlYY
- A piece I missed from earlier this year. Scott Bradfield at the LA Review of Books–“Donald E. Westlake: The Writer’s Writer’s Writer” https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/donald-e-westlake-the-writers-writers-writer/#
The Westlake Review (which just marked a milestone) really liked this piece. - Levi Stahl of the University of Chicago Press appeared on the White Rocket Podcast for a fun discussion of his book of Donald Westlake’s nonfiction writings, The Getaway Car, as well as Parker and Westlake in general. https://violentworldofparker.com/?p=9105
