After reading the first draft manuscript Susan gave a very capable summary of Korzybski's life in two sentences:
"He had a very busy, sometimes too busy, exciting and exhausting life. Then he died."Measured by today's lifespans he wasn't that old when he died, a few months short of his 71st birthday. But he packed a helluva lot of living into those years. I think readers will be pleasantly surprised about what they learn about Korzybski, what he was aiming for, and his incredible accomplishments. I'll keep you posted on the books progress toward publication, which will be soon.

And from the little I've read, Bruce, the book looks JUICY!
Well I feel A.K, really never died, as he lives on, in his books, and pictures, and even in his 1948 Seminar, which I have been re-mastering, his voice, to make it clearer, and to take out some of his dioletic and the cold that he had.
I find TIME-BINDING, The General Theory 1924-1926 a foundation of what he was trying to get across. This wasn't published till after his death. I find that reading this book, by A.K. before anything else, will give you a firm foundation about the History of his reasoning. It was very helpful to me.
