I believe the great Patricia Highsmith died of blood cancer or lukekemia (wrong spelling, sorry). She was sick for awhile. I believe she passed away in 1994. I truly think she is one of the great writers of the 20th Century. Her books are mostly perfect, and really 'creepy' to the bone. Almost amoral, or right to the edge of the thin line between good and evil. Tosh Berman TamTam Books - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
