<<Question: If espionage is suddenly back in favor, why
is Donald Hamilton having such a hard time selling the
latest
(and most likely last) Matt Helm novel?>>
Probably the author has outlived his own fame. I am sure he
hasn't forgotten how to write. In this country, memory is
very short.
By the way, a few years ago I heard a very sensible comment
regarding the MWA's Grand Master awards, and it was this:
what business does the MWA have bestowing such an honor on
P.D. James when they haven't recognized Donald Hamilton? This
strikes me as obvious neglect. I would say the same about
Richard Prather. These guys are alive and their contributions
are legendary.
