Don,
Although I'm not quite as enthusiastic as others on the list
are about Willeford, I must say that I've enjoyed everything
I've read by him, especially The Black Mass of Brother
Springer, The Woman Chaser, The High Priest of California and
Deliver Me from Dallas. I also recommend the movie, The Woman
Chaser, starring Patrick Warburton (Puddy).
