Great essay, Kevin! I learned a great deal about Jaws... Peter Benchley sure had an interesting career.. and that film, while better known than the novel, sent many people back to the book... and, in my case, into reading Robert Benchley, too! Thanks for an excellent read.

Glad you liked it, Jan. Hope all is well. Benchley wrote some good thrillers but he’ll probably be remembered only for Jaws. Which is a shame. He had a productive and interesting career.
