The contents, which [redacted] has described as &#8220;tentative,&#8221; are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Ambition by Moonlight<br \/>\nAn Autobiography<br \/>\nThe Galveston Affair<br \/>\nIn His Own Image<br \/>\nIrony<br \/>\nIvory Camel, The<br \/>\nLives and Crimes of Notable Artists<br \/>\nMusings of a Moron<br \/>\nThe Paradox<br \/>\nThe People of the Winged Skulls<br \/>\n<em>Post Oaks and Sand Roughs<\/em> &#8211; Draft<br \/>\n<em>Post Oaks and Sand Roughs<\/em><br \/>\nThe Recalcitrant<br \/>\nSome People Who Have Had Influence over Me<br \/>\nSpanish Gold on Devil Horse<br \/>\nThe Splendid Brute<br \/>\nSunday in a Small Town<br \/>\nTo a Man Whose Name I Never Knew<br \/>\nA Touch of Trivia<br \/>\nUntitled (\u201cA typical small town drugstore . . .\u201d)<br \/>\nUntitled (\u201cAs my dear public . . .\u201d)<br \/>\nUntitled (\u201cMike Costigan, writer and self-avowed futilist\u201d)<br \/>\nUntitled (\u201cThe Seeker thrust . . .\u201d)<br \/>\nVoyages with Villains<br \/>\nThe Wandering Years<\/p>\n<p>Rob has also indicated that there might be annotations included as well.<\/p>\n<p>[redacted] has been\u00a0giving the annotaters a helping hand, it seems. Over at the <em>Two-Gun Raconteur<\/em> website, [redacted] has posted a guest blog which examines some of the clues provided by <em>Post Oaks and Sand Roughs<\/em>. He has made, in my opinion, a very strong case as to what real-life football game REH fictionalized at the very start of his short novel.
