    It is a great idea. Westlake was very good at the short story. Last time I looked at Westlake's website, there were several short stories put up for people to read, including some SF ones. A collection in book form would be wonderful.

    Just recently, I ran into his Dortmunder story "Too Many Crooks", a hilarious one. On the website, he had another one about stealing a horse...

    Best,
