Before Mario Puzo died in 1999, he signed off on the idea that someone would be hired to continue the saga of The Godfather. In the fall of 2002, Mario Puzo's publisher, Random House, opened a contest to choose Puzo's successor. The winner was Mark Winegardner.

plawrence RIP StatMan Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 15,058 The Slippery Slope	Thanks, SC. I think I copy Puzo's style OK, but I have trouble with plot development. And anyway, I'm not Italian. "Difficult....not impossible"

Estate's notoriously do not make good choices in getting suthors to write sequels. The Gone With The Wind sequel was awful....now I see where the heirs to J.M. Barrie have hired someone to do a sequel to Peter Pan. God help us. "Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!" "I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
