John D. MacDonald: A Laurent Auguste Page

When he did visit the Tiger, or otherwise cavorted and frolicked, for the sake of cavorting or frolicking, he never really liked himself much afterwards.
. . .
  1950 was to prove a pivotal year for MacDonald: he lengthened a novella, The Brass Cupcake, and sold it to Fawcett Crest.
. . .
MacDonald apparently did work on the novel, but nothing has been, nor will be, published.
. . .
That's what it took, pure and simple – a hardcover publication, and this was not even among his best works.
. . .
Keating, who included Pale Green for the Ripper in his list of the one hundred best crime/mystery novels of all time, saw the series this way: “The twenty-odd McGee books…are, in fact, perhaps our best example of the crime story as a novel of feelings.
. . .
Suppose we're talking about a social, ecological ruin – the environmental area.

John McDonald, Composer and Pianist

He received the 2009 Lillian and Joseph Leibner Award for Distinguished Teaching and Advising from Tufts University, and was named the 2007 MTNA- Shepherd Distinguished Composer of the Year by the Music Teachers National Association.
. . .
Recent performances at the Goethe Institut of Boston and at Tufts have been highly acclaimed.
. . .
His solo piano recital of “Common Injustices” by twenty-five living composers prompted Richard Dyer of The Boston Globe to write “one can hardly imagine anyone else undertaking such a program, or playing it with such modest and unobtrusive but total musical and pianistic mastery.” McDonald has appeared with many ensembles and has maintained long-standing musical partnerships with soprano Karol Bennett, saxophonists Kenneth Radnofsky and Philipp St?udlin, and several other prominent soloists.

John D. MacDonald - Ask Jeeves Encyclopedia

MacDonald has written a novel called The End of the Night which I would argue is one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century.
. . .
As Sherlock Holmes had his well-known address on Baker Street, McGee had his trademark lodgings on his 52-foot (16 m) houseboat, the Busted Flush, named for the poker hand that started the run of luck in which he won her.
. . .
McGee made his living by recovering the loot from thefts and swindles, keeping half to finance his "retirement," which he took in pieces as he went along.
. . .
The bartender in Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Mike Callahan, is married to Lady Sally McGee, whose last name is almost certainly a tribute to Travis.
. . .
Writing career Early pulp story MacDonald's literary career began accidentally; in 1945, while in military service, he wrote a short story and mailed it home to his wife.
. . .
The slip is empty, with a small plaque mentioning Busted Flush.
