A spring chicken

Referring to Louis Auchincloss, whose first book was published in 1947 and who is still writing, the Boston Globe writes: “From first book to last, Auchincloss’s may prove to be the longest-running literary career in American letters, with no end in sight…”.

Two words: Jack Williamson. Jack was born in 1908, published his first story in 1927–and I’m currently reading his 55th novel, The Stonehenge Gate, serialized in Analog.

The Globe doesn’t know what it’s talking about.
