		<description><![CDATA[Having delved into the lives of Leopold and Loeb (here), I turned my attention to Patrick Hamilton, the author of Rope, the play that has traditionally been cited as having been based on their case. I felt there were some loose threads left hanging in my comments about him. So I untied a few knots, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Since I'm spending some time back in Natchez, MS this month, I thought I would repost this story about a much-overlooked Mississippi writer, Hubert Creekmore, that I wrote last year. Mississippi has produced so many marvelous authors, including William Faulkner, Eudora Welty and Natchez native Richard Wright. The mystery writer Greg Iles now lives in [...]]]></description>

In the annals of vintage gay fiction, one author stands out as truly an enigma: Jay Little. Most people today have never heard of him. You won&#8217;t find his books in stylishly designed reprints at Barnes &#38; Noble or Borders. You can&#8217;t download him on Kindle. Or read him on Google Book Search. Not yet, [...]]]></description>

Sometimes when I feel like a nostalgic trip down memory lane, I&#8217;ll pull out one of my favorite children&#8217;s books: Trouble After School, written by Jerrold Beim in 1957. A true classic, it&#8217;s the tale of an intelligent but slightly shy junior high school student named Lee, who feeling neglected by his parents, falls in [...]]]></description>

It seems hard to believe that F. Scott Fitzgerald, above, died 69 years ago today, on Saturday, December 21, 1940. The Winter Solstice. Fitzgerald&#8217;s obituary appeared in the New York Times on December 23, 1940, reporting that he&#8217;d had a heart attack at his Hollywood home two days before (it was actually his girlfriend, Sheilah [...]]]></description>

Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I am just as passionate about actors as I am about writers. For me a good actor, either on the stage or on film, is someone who &#8220;writes&#8221; his own part by imbuing it with nuance, intelligence and an intangible connection with the audience. Intuition is key, [...]]]></description>

Completely forgotten today, but once one of the most popular and prolific authors of his time, Robert Hichens deserves to be rediscovered and celebrated. His novel, The Green Carnation, a witty send-up of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas, is a true camp classic. Published anonymously in 1894, it earned Wilde&#8217;s respect, if not exactly [...]]]></description>
