Willford was fearless, rampantly intelligent and 100% his own
writer. There is not one of his books I didn't love, although
I find COCKFIGHTER gets undue attention for what it is. THE
DIFFERENCE in particular warrants a mention, since it gets
bashed occasionally. No matter what else I found in that book
(and you always do with Willeford books), I enjoyed the hell
out of reading it. The thing about Willeford, besides
everything else he knows how to entertain. The fact that he
did just that across such a diverse range of novels (and
other writings) puts him right up there. Definitely one of
the top three best authors I've ever read in any genre.
