Lawrence Block and Donald Westlake

I discovered Lawrence Block’s novels more than twenty years ago. More or less at the same time, I also started enjoying the work of Donald Westale. Both, each one in his own style, are up high in the list of my favourite writers. Sometimes I wondered what would be the opinion of any of them about the other. A few weeks ago I read an interview with Mr. Block, where he was asked to recommend another writer to the readers. I was both glad and suprised reading that Block thought that Westlake was one of the best. Well, Larry, just in case you’re interested in my opinion, I fully agree with you. Now, it’s Westlake’s turn.
