[KENNETH HOUGHTON]

     That makes the posthumous publication of the dreadful novel about the 
     advertising industry by No-one-else-would-publish-this-and-here's-why 
     Press (Tafford?; the same people who published Piers Anthony's 
     _Pornucopia_) a lot more understandable.
     
     Not that it's a bad book--just a boring one.  Might not have been so 
     in the pre-_Revolutionary Road_ days.
     
     Otherwise, Carroll & Graf are reprinting some long OOP Bester; go for 
     it!

  His late years were melancholy. He left his literary estate to his
bartender. List relevance? TRP was (is?) a fan.
