argot...
TM (who is saddened that Mike Ashley's modern cf encyclopedia
doesn't in its first edition include such people who began
but certainly didn't end in early-mid 1900s as William
Campbell Gault, but does include some more recent folk I find
pretty marginal for cf, such as Bret Easton Ellis, or
generally minor, such as BE Ellis despite his popularity--a
judgement call I can respect though not agree with...and who
didn't bother to buy a cheap remainder of a "reference to
women cf writers" that didn't even mention nor cite in the
index Leigh Brackett nor "Craig Rice.")

<<There are some strange omissions: Ross Macdonald gets
two
pages (and a nice picture with Margaret Millar and daugher),
but John D. MacDonald isn't mentioned.>>
But why did he include Ross Macdonald in a list of pulp
writers? He doesn't really belong there. Of course John D.
does belong, and quite prominently.
How does he define "pulp writer"?
