<< Incidentally I am reading Prelude To A Certain
Midnight at the moment and
it is not hard to imagine that Derek Raymond was impressed by
the book >>
While researching Kersh, I found out that Mark McShane was so
impressed by
Prelude and the way that it upturns crime conventions, that
he realised that
there were no rules to writing books - and so he started
writing crime and
mystery books, Seance On A Wet Afternoon being the most
famous.
I wondered if anybody knows of other books which so
singularly inspired a
writer to write?
