The Ghost Of A Model T And Other Stories - Plot & Excerpts
Simak and Carl Jacobi For a man who grew up wanting to write, and who turned to journalism with enthusiasm for the glamor and idealism he saw in the way the profession was portrayed during the early part of the twentieth century, Clifford D. Simak appears to have been rather reluctant to work with others—at least so far as his fiction was concerned. Aside from a story he cowrote with his own son—“Unsilent Spring,” elsewhere in these collections)—this was Clifford D. Simak’s only collaboration; and he would later admit that he and Carl Jacobi—well-known to each other through years of living and working in the same metropolitan area – fought while doing this story. (You can decide for yourself whether the evidence indicating that Cliff and Carl later tried another collaboration—and failed—supports or detracts from any side in this argument …) After initially being rejected by Unknown, “The Street That Wasn’t There” first appeared in Comet Stories in July 1941 (it would later be reprinted a time or two, including under the name “The Lost Street”).
