13 FOR Corwin - a question about the text

[Glenn Anders]

The dumb answer: Why not hire a librarian to OPEN the book?

The simple, least satisfactory answer: Someone got a bum copy of 13 FOR CORWIN.

A more complex answer: Carefully look in the back of the book. The 1993 paperback reprint is listed at 110 pages.

The most satisfactory answer: Google the book on Amazon. Click on a "Look inside this book." Leaf back from The Back Cover. Anyone will find Robert Nathan's kind of afterword, a prose poem, in which he writes of listening to Walter Cronkite talking about going into Outer Space, hears the words of a young Norman Corwin, closes his eyes in a reverie, and begins to imagine Corwin's voice replacing that of Cronkite.

As Doug, the original owner of the splendid old Edinburgh Castle Bar on Geary Street, used to say to Todd Baesen before his banishment: "Nay-x-t!"

At Anyone's service:

"Hey, fella, whatever your name is: I don't mind a leetle Tar-r-r-get Practice, but you're getting it all on me, doncha know? Barman, what are you going to do about that?"

"Nay-x-x-t!!"

LOL Glenn, but I really wish you would stop using "Keats" as one of your so-called sock puppets. You have enough of them already, including Mido and me.

Please could we stop this needless debate and get back to discussing Orson Welles without rancor? These debates are resembling the type of flame wars that often see the end of significant internet discussion sites.

Amen! ladies and gentlemen! I answered someone's query, did I not?

DONE!

I don't like wasting my time, anymore than you do, providing what should be easily obvious answers to strangely formulated questions. Especially when the response is so grateful!

Promise me, all you other "sock puppets," that you will answer these questions from now . . . or ignore them -- as you see fit.

My great anticipation and effort wants to be on the interview that Mr. French and Alex Fraser(?) had with Chris Feder, and toward publicizing her informative memoir.

BTW, did you know that there is an "Orson Welles Group" of 68+ members at the Turner Classic Film Union? That's another place where we should be concentrating our attention in matters of her memoir, Orson Welles or Norman Corwin.
