Got published novelists all over the place. Just heard from Bill Morris, former reporter and columnist here who is in Germany watching the World Cup and writing a novel. He reports: It's a love story about two obituary writers in near-future New York City. The subtexts include garbage, eco-terrorism and plastic surgery -- the great themes of our age.
Bill is a funny, charming, beautiful writer, which surprises those who only know him by his sloppy, disheveled look. I've read his All Soul's Day and Motor City. Outstanding.

Well, of course he had to make it a love story about two obituary writers. The love story about two morticians is already taken.

Actually, I think about him quite often.
Oh, I shouldn't say that in public, should I?

We must be thinking of different people.

I lost track of Bill many years ago. It's nice to hear he's alive & well. Looking forward to his next novel, esp cuz my sister's an obit writer!
