Post-War Male Novelists

Also, I thought I'd make a list of some novelists (male and all exploring the issues of the modern "man") that were published in the middle of the twentieth century that have influenced me (I like them).

Local music

After having gone to the Pistol in the West Bottoms and seen some awesome music (These Are Powers, Mythical Beast), I've decided to try and go and see more local shows. More fun than a big show for a band I might kinda/sorta like.
