Oh no. I studied under John Casey one year at the @sewaneewriters.bsky.social and learned so much. One story: his editor told him a novel was too long, so he revised…and made it longer, and then it wasn’t too long. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2... If you haven’t read him, start with Spartina.
John Casey, prize-winning novelist of ‘Spartina,’ dies at 86
He won the National Book Award for his novel, which one reviewer called “possibly the best American novel about going fishing since ‘The Old Man and the Sea.’”
