It's probably due to Summer Drift ... or maybe the digest I
receive in the morning will be crammed with Willeford
references....
In the meantime, those of you totally unfamiliar with Charles
Willeford could do worse than to check out
http://www.dennismcmillan.com/charleswillefo/excerpts.htm
A 'sampler' page of excerpts from most of Willeford's books.
[I, naturally, enjoyed the portions of "Cockfighter Journal
1989"....]
This page is part of a site
http://www.dennismcmillan.com/charleswillefo/index.html
created by Maura McMillan back in the beginning of 2001, and
apparently still maintained.
There is an extensive time-line style Biography, and also a
page titled:
"Never-Before-Seen Visual Art by Willeford" ... which,
considering I spent most of 1967-68 at the same Filipino base
at which Willeford did time
[9/36-10/38] thirty years earlier, and I was also familiar
with (what was left of) the indigenous population, I would
have enjoyed anyway.
...but, given where I now reside, I found it particularly
delightful!
[Also, a page and a link on the film adaptations, plus more.
Go forth, and browse....]
