Recommends Lest Darkness Fall
So Lest Darkness Fall changed what I studied, which changed what I wrote about (it didn’t change the fact that I was going to write, because I was always going to write anyway.)

Recommends If The South Had Won The Civil War
And I just want to note that If The South Had Won The Civil War first ran in Look magazine in 1959, it’s maybe 30,000 words, and he got 25,000 1959-dollars for it – which is something like getting a quarter of a million dollars now.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
