Though he did seem to have a dry spell, the stories he was working on at the end of his life are some of the best ones he ever wrote.<BR/>Reborn Again, in particular, is almost a summation of Bob's best themes -- the absurdity of modern life, two minds inhabiting a single brain, a New Yorker's view of living, who are we and what is our purpose while we're here.<BR/>Reborn Again is available online and there are other stories collected into a couple of anthologies that are well worth the effort to find them.<BR/>I was a close friend of Bob's in the last decade of his life and not a day goes by without my chuckling at the memory of my time spent with him. He was great guy and a great writer.Irahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614880201756042564noreply@blogger.com
