Me too, except for how he committed suicide - if I have my
facts right, Williams took his boat out one day, then went
for a swim from it & never returned. Many people, myself
included,think that his marine novels are the best
(admittedly I've only read a small handful of his books).
They have a spooky quality that gets even spookier when you
know how he died.
(Yes, that's very literary phrasing, Edna.) Williams books
that I have read (& liked a lot): SCORPION REEF, NOTHING
IN HER WAY, THE HOT SPOT
( orig. title escapes me at present). I haven't read DEAD
CALM but a nice little movie was made here in Oz based on
it.
