Today, December 4, is the birthday of Cornell Woolrich (1903-1968). I featured some of his novels in this year’s Black Friday post. If you want to write intense, suspenseful stories, you could do a lot worse that study Woolrich. I’m not going to review anything; it’s been one of those days. But check him out. His novels and short stories are well worth the time.
Woolrich lived there until his mother’s death on October 6, 1957, which prompted his move to the Hotel Franconia (20 West d Street).
