A most interesting list, to say the least. Wonderful to see an anthology
like that and realize how many of the names don't ring any bells except
with specialists in the period, but also how many resonate so strongly.
I had a similar experience a few years ago in the dear, departed Barnes
and Noble sales annex, picking up a '40s or early '50s collection called
"This Is My Best," a strange mix of journalists, popular fiction writers
and great living novelists of the time. I'm not going to get into the
whole question of canon-building, but it's useful to look at such
collections to get a sense of how someone like MT fits into an era.
Thanks again,
George Robinson
