Robert Stone

[Mike]

I, too, am going to miss Mr Stone. He didn't write much, but when he 
did......oh boy.
Well, except Death of the Black-haired Girl, which I didn't much care for.
I remember picking up Hall of Mirrors at some used book shop for a buck, 
then wondering why I kept reading such a depressing thing. He made me 
keep reading. I was hooked. An exquisite writer that will be missed. By 
a few of us, anyway.

Regards.
