INTERVIEW WITH JOHN D. MacDONALD, by Ed Gorman I interviewed John D. MacDonald three times over the years, twice for Mystery Scene . He generally hated giving interviews. I think this one was an exception. His wife was ill, and he was starting to experience health problems of his own. A Key To The Suite (about a sales convention) and Slam The Big Door (the hollowness of success). Most of us die little deaths except for the final big death. We lose jobs, mates, dignity. Key , for instance, charts the demise of several careers and at least two marriages in ways every bit as powerful and memorable as any shootout. Dead Low Tide and The End of The Night The Damned proved that you are a born mainstream novelist. Do you recall the circumstances under which the book was written, and were you aware it was taking your career in a slightly new direction? I was not trying to fit books into market slots. I wrote The Damned because I knew the locale, and I was interested in what would happen if a lot of people got jammed up at the crossing. A lot of things would happen to them, and that is the definition of a story. While the critics have always talked about how Travis McGee puts rather helpless women back together, female characters such as Laurie in

(See also Contemporary Authors , Vols. 1-4, rev. ed.) MacDonald is a prolific writer of considerable diversity (some 50 of his books are listed in "Books in Print"), but what he is best known for are his books starring Travis McGee, frequently described as "a knight in slightly tarnished armor." There were some misgivings all around when Mr. MacDonald started the series several years ago. He wasn't sure he wanted to be locked into a series with a set hero and a fairly set line of plot development…. Travis is aging, deliberately. He is not quite the swashbuckler, not quite the sexual athlete that he was in the series' earlier books. What he lacks in physical reflexes, he makes up for with his wits. This is necessary, Mr. MacDonald feels, to keep Travis credible, and Travis is one of the most credible, most human of the paperback series...

38. Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews PS#27: Misc 6: SF By Knight/MacDonald/Leinster john D. MacDonald is the author of the better part of a hundred novels and Lord knows how many hundreds of short stories (okay, his bibliographers probably http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/sf/dani/PS_027.htm

Standard introduction for Postscripts to the Belated Reviews Belated Reviews PS#27: Misc 6: SF by Knight/MacDonald/Leinster As SF novelists, Knight, Leinster and MacDonald are all somewhere in the third tier. In a sense that's not fair: The novels in this review are mostly from the fifties, when the short story dominated. For most of Leinster's career, the short story was practically all there was. Knight's gifts showed to better effect in his work as an editor and a critic, and most of MacDonald's novels are mysteries, not sf. So why am I bothering? Because these authors weren't always in the third tier. Damon Knight 's best-known work is probably the short story, "To Serve Man" (***+), which appeared in 1950 and subsequently made the transition to tv.(It's a gimmick story, and too spoiler-prone to discuss, but if you haven't read it, you probably want to seek it out.) In terms of sf history, he is more significant as an editor and a critic an important force behind the transition to competent writing in the genre. He only wrote a few novels, two of which stand out. At least, they stood out in the forty years ago. "Hell's Pavement" (***) is a half-satirical novel placed in a future in which almost everyone is mind-controlled. It starts with good intentions: You can condition killers not to kill, you can condition public servants not to accept bribes, you can condition brawlers not to brawl. By the twenty-second century everyone is conditioned to be a good citizen, though the definition of good citizenship may differ from one place to another. For example, some conglomerates, early on, legally paid consumers generously to accept conditioning not to buy from their competitors. The descendents of those consumers are still effectively 'owned' by those conglomerates. To top it off, a few people are secretly Immune to the conditioning, which gives them the tremendous advantage of being able to think and do the 'impossible'. By the time of this novel, the whole unstable system is on the brink of collapse.

I am not pretentious enough to believe I could do what Mr. MacDonald could. But, I hope my humble efforts will give the reader some joy. Wednesday, October 27, 2004 Chapter 1 The Black Book A tribute to John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee By Peter Hansen To Daphne, For whom McGee would have given his all. Chapter 1 When you owe someone your life and they ask you for help you go. It isn’t a matter of choices. McGee was in some kind of trouble, and I owed him my life. I went. It was just past dusk when I wandered up to the houseboat named the Busted Flush. The address I had, Slip F-18, Bahai Mar, Fort Lauderdale, was correct. I was not expecting any company. I tossed my duffel aboard and stepped down from the gangplank. Then all hell broke loose. The alarm I tripped was the least of my worries. As the houseboat went "Whoop, whoop, whoop," a curvy brunette with a lethal looking little nine-millimeter stuck her head out the door threatening me with bodily harm. I was thinking about the best way to get on her good side when a slightly over-age bear landed on my back and sent me sailing face first into the bulkhead. I cursed McGee for bringing me here, and fought to stay awake as the stars started a slow dance in my head. The stars won.
