Like Gary Larsen, I’ve done a few desert island stories. Well, two that I can think of (this one and “Wolf Island”). Maybe more? I have sort of a real problem remembering all the fiction I’ve published. Years and years ago, at a bar in New Orleans, I was talking to a woman who said she was Hunter S. Thompson’s assistant, and what that involved was reading his own work to him (ran into her nearly twenty years later, too, which was wild). I feel that.
