Someone had asked about the Chandler Fulbright that allowed
writers to spend a year at Oxford writing and wondered about
the winners. While I can't provide a list, Concerto in Dead
Flat by Wendell McCall has the main character, Chris Klick,
going undercover at Oxford as a mystery writer on a Raymond
Chandler Research Fellowship. In an author's note, McCall
writes that he spent a year in the late 1980s on a Chandler
Fulbright. McCall, who is better known today as Ridley
Pearson, called it "that fabulous and unique experience,
perhaps the best year of my life." Concerto was published by
Poisoned Pen Press in 1999 and the publisher may still have
copies.
