...REVEALED. Tom McHale, 40, irreverent writer of baroque novels that raged with comic lunacy and roared through the conflicts of middle-class Irish and Italian Catholics; by his own hand (carbon monoxide poisoning); on March 30; in Pembroke Pines, near Miami.

Those who keep hoping that McHale.will return to the exuberant comedy and middle-class Catholic characters of his first two novels, Principato and Farragan's Retreat, will again be disappointed. McHale seems stubbornly determined not to repeat ear lier successes. In that respect, at least, The Lady from Boston succeeds.

Those who do not mind the voyeuristic experience of being interested but not concerned will find it a lot easier to take McHale...
