Comment on Fondly Fahrenheit

Alfred Bester

First published May 1970
Type Essay

Some sites list this title as Comment on “Fondly Fahrenheit” with quote marks around “Fondly Fahrenheit.” The publication Starlight: The Great Short Fiction of Alfred Bester has the story listed using the following:
  • The table of contents entry reads: Comment on Fondly Fahrenheit
  • The title page (pg. 69) reads: Comment on Fondly Fahrenheit
  • The running header (pg. 71) reads: (Comment on) Fondly Fahrenheit
It's assumed that as many people enter stories as listed in the table of contents that they dealt with that the first part of the story title is italicized by entering the story title with quotes around “Fondly Fahrenheit.” If publications exist that use the quoted version of the title then we can add a variant title to deal with this.
