The New York Times

In William Maxwell’s Fiction,

a Vivid, Varied Tableau of Midwestern Life

Though his novels and short stories

— published over six decades, beginning in 1934 —

are set in an older, more decorous America,

he grapples with themes that feel shockingly contemporary.

Mario Gianluigi Puzo USA 1920-1999

best-selling

novelist and screenwriter

who created ''The Godfather''

and made the Corleones

the most famous -- and infamous --

of Mafia families

and an enduring myth

in American culture

(...)

When Mr. Puzo

wrote ''The Godfather''

in the late 1960's,

he did it reluctantly.

His first two novels

had received favorable reviews

but had earned him a total of $6,500.

At 45 and in debt,

he though

he was going downhill fast

as a writer.

But he had some favorite stories

to tell about the Mafia,

and for the money,

he decided to write a book

about Italian-Americans

in organized crime.

From the author's account,

he had scant encouragement

from publishers

and received an advance

of only $5,000.

But when the book

was published in 1969,

it became one

of the most phenomenal successes

in literary and cinematic history.

The novel was the No. 1 best seller

in the United States

and was on the New York Times

best-seller list for 67 weeks.

It was also the most popular novel

in England, France,

Germany and other countries,

and sold more than 21 million copies.

Then it tripled that success

when Francis Coppola filmed it.

With a screenplay

by Mr. Puzo and Mr. Coppola,

the film made reputations

(for the director,

the writer and many of its stars),

earned millions of dollars,

won Academy Awards

for the screenwriters, among others,

and became the most

quoted movie of its time,

with phrases like

''an offer he couldn't refuse''

entering the American lexicon.

The film outdid the book

in popularity

and in critical respect.

When it opened in 1972,

Vincent Canby,

in his review in The New York Times,

called it ''one of the most brutal

and moving chronicles of American life

ever designed within the limits

of popular entertainment.''

Wright Marion Morris USA 1910-1998

Wright Morris ('s)

taut American Gothic novels,

stories, essays and photographs

plumbed the mysteries

of the stark Nebraska landscape

and who was often called one

of the nation's most unrecognized

recognized writers

(...)

Drawing on a picaresque childhood

and comic overseas misadventures,

Mr. Morris wrote 33 books,

including 19 novels, three memoirs,

four books of essays,

two collections of short stories

and five books

of annotated photographs.

His work was widely praised

and honored with literary awards,

but many admirers felt that in the end,

Mr. Morris took literature

more seriously than it took him.

'No book of mine

can be read under a hair dryer,

while bolting a hamburger

or half-watching TV,'' he said in 1963,

acknowledging his reputation

as a sophisticated writer

on unsophisticated subjects.

Kingsley William Amis UK 1922-1995

His achievement as a novelist

tended to obscure

his very considerable

accomplishments as a poet.

Amis was, in fact,

a fully subscribed member

of that increasingly rare species,

the all-round man of letters.

He wrote everything,

from advertising copy

to restaurant reviews,

radio plays to television scripts,

political polemic

- on behalf of both left and right -

to literary criticism,

science fiction

to a James Bond sequel.

His style was rich,

acute and fastidious,

and unmistakably his own.

Amis's output

was prodigiously large

as well as various:

24 novels,

more than a dozen

collections of poetry,

short stories and criticism

and a large miscellany of other work,

including volumes

on drink, politics and himself

- his Memoirs.

Robin Cook UK 1931-1994

(pseudonym: Derek Raymond)

English writer who wrote

under the pseudonym

Derek Raymond

and who won a loyal following

with his dark and brutally

graphic crime novels

(...)

His first novel,

"The Crust on Its Uppers,"

published in 1962

under his own name,

grew out of his experiences

as a young man

who rebelled against

his middle-class background

and went to work for gangsters

from the East End of London.

That book

and his other early novels,

including "Bombe Surprise"

and

"The Legacy of the Stiff Upper Lip,"

quickly gained a cult following.

Alexander Murray Palmer Haley USA 1921-1992

aka Alex Haley

Haley had such

an easygoing conversational style

that he could speak with anyone.

Born in Ithaca, N.Y., in August 1921,

he grew up in the South

— first in Tennessee, then in Alabama —

and spoke in a melodious baritone,

with a quiet, rhythmical, Southern drawl.

He was the gentlest of gentlemen.

I never heard him

raise his voice

or utter an unkind remark,

and he made it a rule

after speaking at a fancy dinner

to talk with the kitchen staff;

they were usually

the only people of color at the affair.

His motto was

“Find the good, and praise it.”

Politically he was a moderate,

philosophically more Martin

than Malcolm.

He lectured

on “The Virus of Violence”

at the height

of the Black Power movement.

“I don’t believe white people

are an evil force,”

he said at Williams College

in 1969.

“We’re all the same people.

It’s only

when individuals form into groups

that prejudice emerges.”

He believed we had to learn

to communicate with one another

before there could be

unity among all people.

Some within the Black community

resisted his message.

Some did not want

to be reminded

of their enslaved past;

Haley’s mother dismissed

her mother’s tales

of her African ancestry

and the peculiar foreign words

he and his two younger brothers

called “Grandma’s noises.”

Haley saw no shame

in his forebears having been slaves.

He liked to remind us

the ancestors of Black Americans,

unlike those of other immigrant groups,

were brought here in chains.

He wanted tangible evidence

of their existence.

A common assumption

in academia at the time

was that there were

no reliable records

of the lives of Black folk,

so they had no history

to speak of.

Haley believed otherwise

and sought his proof.

Robert Cedric Sherriff UK 1896-1975

The British playwright and novelist R.C. Sherriff,

the author of “The Hopkins Manuscript.”

Photograph: Pictorial Press/Alamy

In the ‘Cozy Catastrophe’ Novel, the End of the World Is Not So Bad

Originally published in 1939, “The Hopkins Manuscript,”

by the British writer R.C. Sherriff,

inaugurated a genre of post-apocalyptic fiction

in which a resourceful hero survives unthinkable cataclysm.

NYT

January 2, 2023

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/02/
books/review/r-c-sherriff-the-hopkins-manuscript.html

Born in 1896,

he was working

as an insurance clerk in London

when the First World War erupted.

After arriving as an officer in France,

he found himself

strained to the breaking point

by the tension on the front lines.

In his memoirs, Sherriff recalled,

“I told myself

that the average man in the ranks,

who had no education —

did not have these awful nameless fears.

I told myself this

in defense of myself —

I told myself

that whatever I enjoyed

by way of better comfort,

I paid out again in mental dread.”

Conrad Aiken USA 1889-1973

Suddenly it was dark, and he was lost.

He was groping,

he touched the cold, white, slippery woodwork

with his fingernails, looking for an electric switch.

The throbbing, of course, was the throbbing of the ship.

But he was almost home - almost home.

Another corner to round, a door to be opened,

and there he would be.

Safe and sound. Safe in his father's home.

It was at this point that he woke up:

in the corridor that led to the dining saloon.

Such pure terror, such horror,

seized him as he had never known.

Mr Arcularis 45

Joe Orton UK 1933-1967

They closed in;

he heard their voices now

only as myriad and interminable insects.

Falling into the gutter,

breathing the sickening smell of blood,

thinking how when he was younger,

a boy, a youth, he had loved the sight of female flesh

and the sound of women's voices,

of walking or sitting alone with them under trees.

He never knew the danger.

Then the pavement, the stones, became actual, savage,

filled with, evocative of,

the claws of birds, maddening, terrifying sounds.

He was afraid. And then he died.

Dawn Powell

infiltrated the writing world

by hanging out in bars and taverns

around New York's Greenwich Village

in the 1920s,

rubbing shoulders

with the likes of Ernest Hemingway

and Edmund Wilson.

"She came from nowhere,

she was no one,"

writer Fran Lebowitz told

Radio Diaries.

But Powell had a voice.

She had style.

And she rose from obscurity

by turning her gaze

on the city of New York itself

and its cast of characters.

Over the coming decades,

Powell wrote novels,

diaries and more than a dozen plays

— earning her renown,

and even a National Book Award

nomination.

Then, in 1965, she died.

What happened next

didn't go according to script.

After Decades in Exile,

a South African Writer’s Remains Will Head Home

Nathaniel Ndazana Nakasa SA 1937-1965

(better known as Nat Nakasa)

On a July morning

nearly half a century ago,

Nat Nakasa,

a black South African

living in exile in New York,

plummeted from

a seventh-story window

on Central Park West

and 102nd Street in Manhattan,

suffering multiple fractures

and internal injuries.

He was pronounced

dead on arrival

at Knickerbocker Hospital

in Harlem.

Mr. Nakasa

was 28 years old.

Just 10 months earlier,

he had left his home country

to take a Nieman

journalism fellowship

at Harvard University.

Because he wrote articles

the apartheid government abhorred,

officials denied him a passport.

They offered an exit permit

— a one-way ticket

out of the country —

daring him to renounce

his South African citizenship.

“If I shall leave this country

and decide not to come back,”

he wrote in 1964,

“it will be because of a desire

to avoid perishing

in my own bitterness

— a bitterness born

of being reduced

to a second-class citizen.”

With key leaders

of the liberation movement,

including Nelson Mandela,

sent to prison,

and the government

cracking down on writers,

Mr. Nakasa

chose the exit permit.

In his final column

for The Rand Daily Mail,

“A Native of Nowhere,”

he wrote of

“taking a grave step”

and becoming

“a stateless person,

a wanderer.”

Less than a year later,

he was dead.

How To Kill

Under the parabola of a ball,

a child turning into a man,

I looked into the air too long.

The ball fell in my hand, it sang

in the closed fist: Open Open

Behold a gift designed to kill.

Now in my dial of glass appears

the soldier who is going to die.

He smiles, and moves about in ways

his mother knows, habits of his.

The wires touch his face: I cry

NOW. Death, like a familiar, hears

and look, has made a man of dust

of a man of flesh. This sorcery

I do. Being damned, I am amused

to see the centre of love diffused

and the wave of love travel into vacancy.

How easy it is to make a ghost.

The weightless mosquito touches

her tiny shadow on the stone,

and with how like, how infinite

a lightness, man and shadow meet.

They fuse. A shadow is a man

when the mosquito death approaches.
