It may interest members of this list that Ross Macdonald's
biographer, Tom Nolan, has discovered a quite a few Lew
Archer fragments in the Millar papers -- beginnings of
stories, chapters, and so on. I have read them, and they are
very good -- not barrel scraping. Macdonald must have
discarded them because they weren't taking stories in a
direction he wished, not because they were badly
written.
There's a good chance that Crippen & Landru will publish
them next year in an augmented THE NAME IS ARCHER collection,
which will include all the stories in LEW ARCHER: PRIVATE
INVESTIGATOR and STRANGERS IN TOWN.
Incidentally, due in about 3 weeks is Tom Nolan's edition of
Margaret Millar's THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR: COLLECTED SHORT
MYSTERIES. Millar was, as most of you know, Ross Macdonald's
wife.
