RIP Donald Westlake
One of my favorite writers, Donald Westlake, has died. He wrote all kinds of crime fiction under a few different pen names. You can read his obit here. If you've never read a Donald Westlake/Richard Stark novel, then please do so soon. He was a master storyteller and he'll be missed, especially be me.

Oh man, that's sad. I love the Dortmunder novels, and he wrote a bunch of brilliant screenplays too--The Grifters and Point Blank come to mind.
Wow. What a great writer. He'll be missed.
Bubs-The Dortmunder novels alone he should be lionized for.
Aw -- I love Donald Westlake. RIP indeed
