Lawrence Person is reporting the death of writer Steve Utley. For some reason, this saddens me far more than I had expected. I never met the man and have read only a few of his stories. But from what I had read, I got the image of a man full of life and enthusiasm. Somehow my world has been diminished.

This follows on the heels of the deaths of mystery writers Margaaret Yorke and Gwendoline Butler.
Ah, me.
As a note following hymn time, almost appropriately situated. The Texas crew has been taking a lot of hits over the last several years. I never met Utley, and that's my loss, even if I only was to tell him how much I enjoyed reading his work over the years since the 1970s.
ReplyDeleteThese were the writers we grew up on. I think I read almost every Margaret Yorke book for years.
