Henry Denker, R. I. P.

Henry Denker, Author in Many Genres, Dies at 99 - NYTimes.com: In a 1949 press release sent out after the publication of his first novel, “I’ll Be Right Home, Ma,” about a light-heavyweight fighter with “a sweet right-hand sock,” Henry Denker declared his belief that “a writer should be active in several forms of his trade.” He added: “Writing is a business and should be practiced as such. On days when you think you can’t possibly write a line you do it anyhow.”
