One of the retirement presents I gave myself was to reread all of Jack, not in the order it was written, but in the order it happened: Visions of Girard; Dr Sax; Maggie Cassady, etc...it was wonderful. I would also maintain that large parts of Visions of Cody are among the best, if not the best, writing by an American. Happy Birthday Jack! You did good.
