We now have the story out on pdf format but its a bitch to read. I'll send it to you if you are still without it. Its disappointing and should have been kept from publication.

I tried to go through my Loyola account. The Hopkins
journal is listed on MUSE (which Loyola subscribes to), but
when I asked for Percy's story I got "there is no electronic
full text for this item." I suspect that Percy's
agent/publisher contract imposed this restriction. When
Sarah and I visited Bunt last spring, she referred to some
static at having given permission for the "Detective Story"
to be published by Hopkins without going through
agent/publisher.

As I understand it the story was published in the Johns
Hopkins Literary Magazine. Does anyone have access to
THEM? On Aug 18, 2009, at 2:34 AM, Jim Forest wrote:

Marcus, I did my best trying to find the text of "A

If you (or anyone on the list) has the text of the WP
story, would you post it? Or if you have a URL that
doesn't require a password, post that.

You can link to the Percy story here:

If you Google Flitcraft you?ll find the text and lots of
comments. There?s a pretty good discussion here by Alan
Gratz:
