Lit.: anonym: An appreciation of Bill’s work by Dave Burnham. In web Bill Naughton“s Bolton, b. d. (článek) – Cit.: (…) Another oddity was the radio play, The Mystery (1972) based it seems on a dream in which a man substitutes himself for his pets to be neutered. I wonder if these diversions from what he knew was strengthened by a commentary about him in the Observer (23/6/63). The writer obviously knew a bit about Naughton and commented that his exuberant sexuality had been quieted since his marriage to Erna in 1952. But perhaps the reviewer’s other comments had a longer term impact. The suggestion was that Naughton’s commitment to his childhood somehow confirmed an immaturity and inability to write about anything else. Did this spur him into a different sort of content? Possibly, although the idea for He Was Gone was bubbling away as early as 1959. (…)
