  He had written over 40 novels from 1950 to 1970. He wrote 6 in his last 12 years of life. It just seemed odd to me to describe A Scanner Darkly as one of his earlier works when it very clearly was not.

    Of course I agree with you. My point was that he "only" wrote 5 novels in the last 9 years of his life -- which I find incredible and amazing (in a positive way).

      He was a grinder, all the old pulp SF people were- they got paid for publishing, and not much. He probably had to do it to pay the bills ( I don't know his specific financial circumstances in those years )
