And I envy you folks the opportunity to meet Westlake, though I might've asked him what the hell he was up to with the first few pages of ANARCHAOS. I did meet Abby Adams/Westlake and Lawrence Block simultaneously while buying the late Westlake's stash of fiction magazines last year, and they were very gracious...Jerry, I think I saw that DBC volume, as well (I don't think I bought a copy, but I might've, if it was inexpensive enough, but if so, it's in a storage box).<br /><br />Now, if it's true, there might be the One More novel floating somewhere, the longer version of CALL ME A CAB...Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-3668118140750315762012-02-17T13:22:42.061-05:002012-02-17T13:22:42.061-05:00Once again, you've hit it out of the park, Tod...Once again, you've hit it out of the park, Todd! I only met Donald E. Westlake once after he gave a speech at the Buffalo-Erie County Library. He was gracious and witty. Westlake also agreed to sign books after his talk and I got to exchange a few words with him while he signed CAMPUS DOLL and COMFORT STATAION. A gentleman and a consummate professional.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-29791900469333899192012-02-17T12:20:27.639-05:002012-02-17T12:20:27.639-05:00Great post, Todd. If I remember correctly, "...Great post, Todd. If I remember correctly, "A Travesty" achieved a somewhat separate book publication in one of the Detective Book Clubs three-in-one volumes.

I also had the pleasure to meet Westlake several times through the years and he was funny, friendly and just such a nice guy.
