Bill Granger (1941-2012) was a Chicago journalist who wrote for the United Press International's Chicago bureau, the Chicago Tribune, and the Chicago Sun-Times, among others, and published more than twenty novels under the pseudonyms Joe Gash and Bill Griffith.
"A raw and vivid slice of Chicago." (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times) "Granger has painted the picture of a familiar working class type so brilliantly and with such sensitivity that the experience of living with Frankie Coolin for a few critical weeks of his life is nothing short of revelatory.... At the end of his story we are all the better for having walked a long mile uphill in his work shoes. Never mind literary categorizations, Time for Frankie Coolin is a potent and insightful work of art." (Stanley Ellin, New York Times Book Review)"
