In the late sixties, he was drafted to fight in the war that USA waged against Viet Nam. During the three years he stayed on, he learnt how to kill and how to abuse drugs. He also kept diaries of everything he experienced, and which he later concentrated into a manuscript he called VELVET NIGHTS.On his return to USA his manuscript was accepted by a publisher and had an astonishing reception. Living off the royalties, he slipped further into the habits acquired overseas. Eventually his editor convinced him to start writing a follow-up to his success and cleaning up his act by moving to a small town in Maine.Crimson started writing his second novel with no clear idea how it would end. By fusing keen observations of people in tranquil Harbor with notes from his editor and his soldiering past in Vietnam, he launched THE SHIP – a terrifying scenario of snowstorms, survival and soul searching. Then Crimson’s unstableness provoked events to spin out of control, while he let his work in progress mirror his perceptions of them.On July 3, 1973, Paul B. Crimson died from a drug overdose in Miami, Florida – shortly after he had finished THE SHIP.lihat lebih sedikit
