It's times like these when you wonder what kind of world could REALLY be left behind, without a talent like Westlake in it. <BR/><BR/>And I never wanted to know.Chad Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000022655357074486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33875434.post-56312795729111287602009-01-02T14:18:00.000-05:002009-01-02T14:18:00.000-05:00Thanks for your words on Mr. Westlake.

I publish Noir of the Week http://www.noiroftheweek.com<BR/><BR/>Stop by sometime and we can talk pulp. I'd love a link from your site sometime if you are feeling generous.<BR/><BR/>Time to dig out The Grifters and Point Blank.teshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18269621816095156033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33875434.post-20132374284197436792009-01-02T14:04:00.000-05:002009-01-02T14:04:00.000-05:00Sad to hear about this.Sad to hear about this.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33875434.post-29456928902027089682009-01-02T13:39:00.000-05:002009-01-02T13:39:00.000-05:00Hey Chris,I was sorry to pass on the news to you, ...Hey Chris,<BR/><BR/>I was sorry to pass on the news to you, but I knew that if you hadn't posted it, you probably didn't know yet.<BR/><BR/>When I first read about Mr. Westlake's passing, three names came to mind: Stephen King, Duane Swierczynski, and you. I knew how much Mr. Westlake's writing had influenced the three of you. We all feel a bit poorer for the loss of the man, but, as cliche as it is, his writing lives on.<BR/><BR/>You wrote a nice tribute. <BR/><BR/>Get better soon.Craig Zablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350991808928451673noreply@blogger.com
