Thanks for the info, guys, must read some other Grangers - whenever I get the time!<br />

Patti, Morris holds up pretty well. The translation is new (the earlier one is from the early 20th century) and there's some freshness, since the translator didn't try to duplicate Morris's antiquarian style, except for some odd words here and there.

Thanks for the info, Gerald. That's an ironic twist, and sad at the same time. Granger was an underrated writer.

I was a Bill Granger fan, too. In 2005, Michael Berry commented on Lee Goldberg's blog:<br />
<br />
<i>I don't know whether Granger is still alive, but back in 2003, he suffered a stroke that seemed to have wiped out most of his memories of his career. I read a very sad article about him in the Suburban Chicago Daily Herald, the link to which has disappeared.<br />

"Bill Granger, who has worked at the Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times and other Illinois papers, is in a veterans' home at 61 after suffering a stroke. Burt Constable writes: "He grasped the cruel irony that the stroke, which robbed him of his mind, has made him stronger physically by forcing him to forgo alcohol, cigarettes and fatty foods. He always seemed to be in the processing of giving up one of those three -- occasionally resulting in odd lunches of nothing but beer and cigarettes. ...In addition to taking away alcohol and his other vices, the stroke made him 'a nicer person,' Granger figured."</i><br />
