While I continue working on my narrative of Dinah and Vincent (Jimmy) Sheean, I thought it would be fun to resurrect this, written in 1990 right before my book about Dorothy Thompson appeared.
Well, you’ve outdone yourself: the other side of Peter Kurth… Hilarious! I’m so happy you included a subject who ‘never made it.’ And what a character. Really? Notes on the airport mirrors? I don’t doubt it! Go Peter go!
Martha, who was a friend, clearly came to the decision that you weren't worth talking to. She did not suffer fools, unlike your "Anastasia," who thrived on them.
She was perfectly happy to talk to me and did. It was the magazine's refusal to indulge her (ridiculous and dishonest) demand that Hemingway not be mentioned that clobbered the piece. You are free to think what you like about Anastasia, of course.

Loved this. I'm enjoying these back stories thoroughly. Keep 'em coming!
