According to the article, he died in 1975, not 1967, as I stated in the previous post. But I think his last novel was published in 1967. That must have been what I was thinking of.

Interesting article about a much under-appreciated author. I loved the last paragraph about the audience's reaction. I'm looking forward to O'Brien's book.
ReplyDeleteYour posts about Hitt have intrigued me. It's time I track down some of his work.
ReplyDeletePlus, I love that car in the picture. Boy, they don't make handsome rollers like that any more.
Cheers,

This is a great photo. It captures an era perfectly. Thanks for running it, James.
ReplyDeleteCool article. I hope this momentum for hos work leads to at least a couple of reissues of his work.
ReplyDeleteA small world, indeed. Great photo, a 1950 - or possibly a 1951 bullet-nosed Ford Tudor convertible. My first car was a 1950 Ford Tudor coupe. Flathead V8. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how he liked to use the happy endings. Thanks for the link, James.
