  To quote Douglas Greene:

-> Spillane also has a marvelous narrative drive and an occasional
-> poetic sense of description.
->
-> Was it Spillane who once said that no one in his books drinks cognac
-> or has a mustache, because he can't spell those words?
->
-> Spillane is, himself, a nice guy.  Some years ago, I wrote to him and
-> he kindly inscribed my copies of his books.

  And, according to L. Sprague de Camp, one of the few writers to always
use who and whom correctly.
