The Extra Dimensions of John D. MacDonald
Like thousands of others, I’m sure, I want to express thanks for Charles Champlin’s piece (Jan. 6) acknowledging the extra dimension John D. MacDonald put into his thriller novels--and some of his shorter stuff, too.
I stumbled onto a paperback copy of “Condominium” about 10 years ago--my first encounter with MacDonald’s work. What a scathing indictment of “developers”!
As a relatively late fan, I hadn’t even met Travis McGee then. And I’m fortunate, since I still have about half of MacDonald’s books to read, as I find them in various libraries.
