The notebook belonged to Paul Linebarger, who under his own name played many roles: U.S. Army colonel, CIA operative, psychological warfare expert, scholar of Asia, teacher, adviser to an American president. ...But it was his science fiction—published as Cordwainer Smith—that gilds his legacy today. https://hub.jhu.edu/magazine/2018/fall/cordwainer-smith-paul-linebarger/
