Death of a Salesman
Arthur Miller
@TheDarkPages But the crowning achievement of his career is that he originated the role of Willy Loman on Broadway in Arthur Miller’s “The Death of a Salesman.” Attention must be paid.:)

Brother
Jim Murray
@BenMank77 @latimes Ditto. I would always read the Times sports section first when I was a kid and pore over the box scores, standings and league leaders. And Jim Murray was my favorite columnist. But those days are going, going gone, brother.

Darling
Frederic Raphael
@missclassicfilm @tcm A shout out must be given to the great Frederic Raphael, who not only wrote the script for Darling but Two For the Road. I once had the chance to spend an afternoon with him at his house in the south of France and was wowed by his wit and depth.

Happy Super Twosday -- it's 2-22-22! That means its also Happy Pub Day for my new newest Hoagy novel, THE LADY IN THE SILVER CLOUD. The thrill of holding a new book in your hands never goes away. I LOVE this book. It may be my favorite. But that will be up to YOU to decide. https://t.co/TCL4yNnlWa

I can't think of a better way to celebrate the first day of spring than to pay a visit to the world famous Mysterious Bookshop in NYC and sign copies of my newest Stewart Hoag novel, THE GIRL WHO TOOK WHAT SHE WANTED. My idea of a real treat. https://t.co/Z0yXgpIbfY

The Mirage Factory: Illusion, Imagination, and the Invention of Los Angeles
Gary Krist
@TurnbullMartin I'm reading a terrific history of L.A. by Gary Krist called THE MIRAGE FACTORY that I somehow missed in 2018 that's about its birth as a major city as told through the lives of William Mulholland, D.W. Griffith and Aimee Semple McPherson. Great stuff about its early days.
