peetso Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Matthiessen, Marquez, . . . now Mowat. If you're one of my favourite authors, your last name starts with an 'M', and it's the year 2014 . . . chances are you're going to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skearns Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 " and no birds sang" is a riveting account of his time in WWII and should be required reading for all students....and of course his frequent appearances on Front Page Challenge for those of us of a certain vintage...at least authors and artists can always be remembered by the media they produced after they leave us...
