Small section of shelves in Don’s personal library
The project of rebuilding the Westlake bibliography continues and there are still a few surprises to be found. Yet another pseudonym has been uncovered but it mostly belongs to another author, Laurence Janifer (aka Larry Mark Harris). The title in question was very likely finished by Don when Harris was unable to meet his deadline. You can read about it on the book page for The Pleasures We Know (link below).
Also, new pages added for Alan Marshall titles and several new pages for early short stories, including what may be the first Westlake short stories in print from 1951! Three new full stories have been added, which you can find through the “Shorts” page. And many book pages have been updated with cover art from multiple editions, especially editions published outside the United States. Below is the list of new pages followed by the list of pages that have been recently updated. I hope you enjoy the discoveries as much as I do.

Hi Paul,
I was sad to read that your father died. His books gave me much pleasure, and I spent days laughing at the inept thieves he created. Humor is lacking in books as in movies. The great ones are all gone and I’m sure your Dad has Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon in stitches – the clouds they’re on are the ones that you see rocking back and forth when you look up. That’s them laughing.
Congratulations on your new baby 🙂
I can imagine that it wasn’t easy having Don as your father, someone living in his mind, with stories getting in the way of a child’s concerns, but you must have had wonderful dinner conversations and hopefully much laughter at the antics of various characters (hopefully not based on real life people LOL).
All the very best and thank you for creating this website!!!!
Karen
