This note does not contain major spoilers for the book.

By Judith Merril and Emily Pohl-Weary. Edited posthumously by Emily from work in progress by Judith, with some parts written by Emily, as I understand the introduction.

A prettier and less interesting book than many of the memoirs of SF authors from that period that I have read. Which is not to say uninteresting, at all.

One thing that continues to startle me is just how easily one could make a bare living back then. A first novel sale could pay 10 months rent, at a rough calculation. Of course the standards of living people accepted were in many ways lower than what we have today.

Sounds like mostly Judith managed to figure out how to enjoy her life.
