“The only other thing I wish to say about this collection is that, as far as I know, it contains no references to juvenile delinquency, the atomic bomb, supersonic flight, Miss Marilyn Monroe, or any of the other phenomena peculiar to our times. This may easily lead a good many readers to suppose that I died several years ago, probably in the explosion of the first electric icebox, but the truth is that these subjects are just a little beyond my range. I am content to leave them all, including Miss Monroe, to the science fiction writers.” - from the introduction to MORE IN SORROW by Wolcott Gibbs (1958).
