there are also hints that Zampano himself may
have created Johnny and his mother as a fictional editor for his
work. Moreover, in the description of the Navidson record, Navidson

of the problem here is this: the average reader is
often better off reading a summary or introduction than the

'I had to resort to reading Japanese science fiction because we
don't have any new talented English science fiction writers these
