...With O'Hara: April
By Robert Saliba

April 9: Completes Appointment in Samarra.

April 11: Dies at Linebrook.

April 14: Publishes My Turn.

April 29: Birth of Grace Brock Caldwell (Tate) in A Rage to Live.

I think A Rage to Live was a turning point in his career, where he elevated to a higher level in the quality of his writing and stayed on that leverl (with a few exceptions) until his death. A Rage to Live is one of my favorite novels, and I think the critics never did it justice.

What are the "few exceptions"? I am curious.
