Gresham's first wife, poet Joy Davidman, left Gresham for C.S. Lewis; one of their sons, Douglas Gresham, currently controls the Lewis estate and the Narnia empire, while the other son, David, reportedly lives in India, a convert to Judaism. William Lindsay Gresham, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, committed suicide in a hotel room in New York City on 14 September 1962 after having been diagnosed with cancer. The only novel he ever published besides Nightmare Alley was Limbo Tower (1946), a mostly failed attempt at memorializing a young friend of his, set in a tuberculosis ward before the discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic capable of effectively treating TB. (My review of Limbo Tower may be read at: http://uvula-fr-b4.livejournal.com/17284.html#cutid1.) ( )
