Anthony C. Winkler
Anthony C. Winkler (February 25, 1942 - September 18, 2015) was a successful Jamaican-born novelist and popular contributor to many post-secondary English literary texts. His first novel ''The Painted Canoe'', although taking the most time to write and publish, was his most rewarding allowing him to move on and produce his most known book titled ''The Lunatic'', earning him a spot on the best-seller list.
== Early life and career ==
Anthony C. Winkler was born in Kingston, Jamaica, where he lived until he was eight years old. He then moved to Montego Bay in St. James the following year, only to return to Kingston to live with his grandparents a year later. He went on to attend three different secondary schools; one in Kingston: Excelsior College, and two in Montego Bay: Mt. Alvernia Academy and Cornwall College.
After high school, Winkler moved back to Kingston where he obtained employment as an accounting clerk for a few businesses around the city. At the age of 21, he left Jamaica to pursue his B.A., graduating in 1967, and then completing an M.A. in 1968. Upon graduation, Winkler taught briefly at Pasadena City College before collaborating with JoRay McCuen-Metherell, a department head at Glendale Community College whom he met while selling textbooks. They got together to write and had a 40 plus year relationship writing all the textbooks except for his first, ''Poetry As System''. He had worked as a textbook salesman in California and realised that he could improve the quality of the writing in the textbooks that he was trying to sell. He submitted two chapters, for which he was rewarded a thousand dollars as a first book advance.
