Personal Quote:

Maybe all my endings are wish-fulfillment. Maybe it's an anti-death thing. If I let the characters be tragic, dead or without hope, then I'd die too. See more »

Trivia:

His son David Wallechinsky was doing genealogical research on the family, and discovered that the family's original last name was "Wallechinsky". It had been Anglicized to "Wallace" by a US Immigration clerk. He was so angered at this that he had his name legally changed to "David Wallechinsky". See more »
