Wolfe gave a brief response to a questionnaire sent out to writers by Barbara Bengels ("The Care and Feeding of Science Fiction Writers"):<br>
<br>
A formative moment in which you decided to become a writer? "There was none..." Roommate asked GW to contribute stories to the student magazine<br>
so he could illustrate them.<br>
<br>
And specifically SF? "I have never considered myself an sf writer, just a writer who writes some sf."<br>
<br>
and on encouraging the young<br>
<br>
"There was a little kid over on Banks Street who borrowed my sf magazines after I had read them. His name was John Cramer, and he bacame a nuclear physicist [and SF writer]". Not a story I had heard before.<br>
<br>
Cheers, David Duffy,<br>
