Betsy Wollheim Interview at 'The Black Gate'

Over at the Black Gate website, a lengthy, two-part interview with DAW Books editor Betsy Wollheim. The interview, conducted by Darrell Schweitzer, was done via Zoom at the  Philadelphia Science Fiction Society on June 14, 2024.

Lots of interesting stuff in the interview:

Schweitzer: Another story I have always heard about DAW: Is it true that as soon as you took over, you and Sheila Gilbert killed the Gor books? Because they stank up the place.

Wollheim: I alone killed the Gor books. I am personally responsible for rejecting John Norman.

At the tail end of part II of the interview, there is a reference to the scene at Casa Susana ! I have to say, not may interviews can range this far and wide............
