The case of Jack Abbott interested me a great deal when it
happened and incited me to read his book, And I was truly
frightened. It was abundantly clear to me form those essays
how Abbott was going to behave once he got out. The late
Jerzy Kosinsky was only Literati who stated publicly at the
time that Abbott was not a man who should not allowed to live
in society of free men and women. He got quite a bit of flak
from his peers and Abbott himself wrote a series of vitriolic
letter to Kosinsky. It speaks volumes that we remember Abbott
but we ( at least I) can remember the man he killed. He
worked as waiter and was an actor/playwright; he left behind
a wife who was devastated by Abbott barbarity.
