Charles Willeford is amazing, though I favor the last four set in Miami above his other work. The deadpan voice sometimes makes me think he was the brother of Charles Portis, another writer I love and can reread.

I tried to read Colin Wilson's fiction a long time ago without any happy outcome I can recall.
