 Vascular Disease Foundation | Profiles | Charles Webb
Webb’s circulation challenges started in 1985 with claudication (symptoms that occur when the leg muscles do not receive the oxygen rich blood required during exercise, causing cramping in the hips, thighs or calves).
In Dr. Webb’s opinion there are many things that can be done to prevent worsening of the disease with medications or using a stent to improve circulation or delay amputation.
Being a physician, Dr. Webb was familiar with the procedure and felt in his case it was better to have an amputation below the knee.

 Thoughtcat: Thoughtcat exclusive - An interview with Charles Webb
Webb hit the headlines in April when it was reported that he and his wife Fred were overdue with their rent, defaulting on their bank loans of £30,000 and about to be evicted from their home in East Sussex.
To be fair, Webb didn’t deserve a place in that list, crass as it in any case was: the key to his situation seems to lay in a low opinion of wealth for its own sake nurtured since his youth.
Webb is clearly passionate about the subject and is keen for other sufferers of chronic depression to know that there might be a non-medicinal alternative to their treatment.

 Rosetta Books - Charles Webb - eBooks available for download
Though Webb has written other books, including The Marriage of a Young Stockbroker, his work is overshadowed by the huge success of The Graduate and its 1967 film version.
Webb took the message of The Graduate quite seriously and has spent his adult life avoiding the kinds of traps he believes materialism lays for people.
In some respects, the novel seems to have been inspired by the story of Webb, his wife and her mother, who disapproved of their relationship and subsequent marriage.

 'Home School' by Charles Webb - Los Angeles Times
Webb, in other words, was there at the outset, and his novel evokes the cusp between two moments, the old world as it gave way to the new.
Webb is very much a product of that transition; born in 1939, he published "The Graduate" at 24 and then embarked on a peripatetic life, producing a handful of novels -- including "New Cardiff," which inspired the movie "Hope Springs" -- turning his back on success each time it came too close.
Webb, of course, is trying to be funny, much as he was in the earlier book.

 The Graduate | Charles Webb | Humor | Humor | eBooks
Charles Webb's The Graduate, published in 1963, was a success for the young American writer, a sly and provocative first novel that is often forgotten in the shadow of Mike Nichols' sensational 1967 film and, more recently, an attention-grabbing stage adaptation in London with Kathleen Turner, then Jerry Hall as Mrs.
Among other things, Webb's novel is a book of its time, written when young Americans were beginning to question, for the first time, the materialistic values that the postwar culture had taught them.
He is a fascinating character, an attractive young man who seems to be unconnected to his own generation, a carefully tended boy who wants to become a man but does not know how.

After he spills his guts to the manager of the motel where he is staying, she decides that Colin might make a good match for her friend Mandy Martin, a caregiver at the local rest home who is currently between boyfriends.
Webb works some serious romantic magic with his dialogue, and the early scenes involving Colin and Mandy have a special chemistry and charm.
Webb is a wonderfully playful writer who does a nice job of stretching out a familiar story, but this book comes off as an attractive but flawed cross between an overextended screenplay and an underwritten novel.

 Stand Up Poetry: An Expanded Anthology | By Charles Harper Webb, ed. | University of Iowa Press - The University of Iowa
Featuring some of America's best contemporary poets, this scene, according to Webb, “showed insight, imagination, craft, philosophical depth, but most of all, it was funny, and it was fun.” Stand Up Poetry: The Poetry of Los Angeles and Beyond (1990) was the result of Webb's enthusiasm for this poetic genre.
A decade later, the popularity of performance poetry, poetry slams, and poetry readings is on the rise, and Webb has expanded his anthology to include a greater sampling of poets from across the country.
From Charles Bukowski to Billy Collins and Allison Joseph, the poets included in this collection are popular and emerging, classical and experimental, young and old; yet all exhibit the characteristics so important to Stand Up Poetry—humor, performability, accessibility, individuality.
