For those who don't know, Chase was an infamous
plagarist....IIRC,
Chandler sued him.... who was also known for writing NO
ORCHIDS FOR MISS
BLANDISH (a sort of poor man's SANCTUARY) which was
universally acclaimed as
the worst novel ever written. It also sold heaps of copies
and, I guess, is
now a big classic of sorts. It came out in a Penguin edition
a few years
back, which would seem to represent establishment
success.
