Stanley Elkin

[Robert Mahnke]

I read The_Dick_Gibson_Show in the last year, and liked it a bunch.  If
you're a fan of old-skool late-nite talk radio, pick it up.

seconded...good writer...he either had a column or some short
stories or articles, or maybe just was reviewed in Esquire
(my mom disapproved of me reading Esquire,
so I eventually stopped subscribing) so I picked up a copy of
_George Mills_ which I admired, but must admit didn't get hooked
because there was more sadness than I was comfortable with...
might give him another try
