He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp (1994). </P> 1789166 5 6 1980 South of No North: Stories of the Buried Life total:741|5:244|4:292|3:181|2:21|1:3| 741 2976 933 47 5 0 false false Wed Mar 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 10:06:29 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 20:10:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Sep 03 18:05:26 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 18:15:15 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 10:32:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 21:08:26 -0700 2009
