@davidxryan I think Neil Gaiman said he introduced Douglas Adams to Sheckley's work. Adams had never previously heard of him, and the writing didn't influence Adams. Though apparently he like it when he read some.
@red_mutant_eyes There's a paywall on the Helen Lewis article, so I don't know what her argument is. Though it seems a bit strange to say he's in danger of being lost to history. He's all over the bookshops, and just recently had one of his novels put in Penguin Classics.
@PressReader The 'advanced search' facility in PressReader is currently not working. When I click on the 'publications' icon, in order to focus on one specific newspaper, the system won't allow it. It remains on 'all publications'. Could you fix this please.
@TheCinesthetic I'm guessing that the scene in The Game that inspired the opening credits in Succession was, itself, inspired by the flashback scene in Marathon Man.
