One of the most eye-opening things I learned from Debritto's book is that Dorbin (not Martin) edited The Days Run Away Like Horses Over the Hills. Which explains A LOT. Although Martin did have a heavy hand. Buy the book to learn more.

You could have learned the same thing by reading stuff on The Forum.

Buy the book

You can't stop rubbing it in... :aerb::fog: *sigh*

That's why The Days Run Away... is probably one of the most legit Black Sparrow collections.

Sorry Zobraks, no more pitching. Just trying to give credit to the right person (not myself).

One other thing cirerita/Debritto points out in his book is that there was a one-sentence thank you from Bukowski to Dorbin in the first printings of the book, but this was subsequently removed. Ego, ego, ego...

That's why The Days Run Away... is probably one of the most legit Black Sparrow collections.

Exactly. The concept for the two books is exactly the same. But Days Run Away becomes and instant classic and Madrigals gets mixed reviews.

This is why I credit other people...

Thanks, gave my later copy to my sister-in-law when she visited last month.
