An Hour with Ionesco by Gabriel d’Aubarède gives Trace no. 47 its clearest point of entry, while When Will You Understand That in so Far as Present Use Is Concerned, the Novel as… by the Novel as We Now Concerned and Towards Print (the Word — ) by Curtis Zahn by Curtis Zahn widen the issue’s field. Dated Fall–Winter 1962, this substantial number indexes 30 pieces or named sections, moving between literary argument, creative work, reviews, correspondence, and the practical business of little-magazine culture. The reader’s edition makes that sequence easy to follow; the original scan preserves the cover, page design, advertisements, visual material, and directory apparatus that locate the writing in its first publication. Together, the two editions show James Boyer May sustaining both a literary forum and a working map of the independent publishing network.
