Re: RARA-AVIS: Mysterious autobiographies

Thu, 3 Dec 1998 11:26:37 -0500 (EST) I recently sent Lawrence Block a very specific question about some of
his early pseudonymous work, never really expecting a reply. He
gratiously answered my query very promptly. Of course, his answer was
that he would "neither confirm nor deny" the information I was trying to
check. However, he added that he may be writing an autobiography in
which he would deal with this early peiod of his career. Here's hoping
he does go through with it.

I wanted to note how nice he was in his reply. Even as he dodged my
question, he made me laugh and showed he clearly cares about his fans.
Also, as I have mentioned before, Lawrence Block prints an occasional
free newsletter for fans. You can get on the list by e-mailing your
address to him at LawBloc@aol.com.

ps -- in the caring about fans department, the same can be said of James
Sallis, who wrote me a nice note about comments I made on this list.
