The episodes, deleted by Wolfe's editor at Scribner's, flesh out the relationship between the main character, Eugene Gant, and his college friend, Francis Starwick, and include a scene in which Gant and Starwick visit a Parisian brothel. Also included are details of the life of Kenneth Raisbeck, the man Wolfe based the character of Starwick upon. Paper edition (1975-X), $11.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
