The
rusty cabin is just visible centre left. The small
dark and authoritative editor was not so much
Rutland's only story as a haven to assuage his lust
and forget his cares. And pay him to write.
He tried to resolve a mainly poor American people
desperately seeking a better life, fridges, cars,
their own suburban home. They sensed a right to
large families and the occupation of space.

Until a few people saw it differently was the great
American anathema, to be conquered.
The
Rutland Green Paradox:
he saw as an earth assaulted by 'civilization'.
As to a partner, He needed to travel and write much
more than he needed to settle and marry. In late
1945 he fathered a child by the tall and determined
woman he worked with in World War II,
Nathalie Armstrong.
She is the main subject of
two
Green scarf stories.
She was jailed when pregnant for suspected
espionage, escaped, changed her identity. Rutland
never knew his daughter and was never traced to the
woman Nathalie became.
This
Green scarf story
was discovered in 2019 by his grand daughter, the
dress designer
Francine Olnay.

heritage was not what she thought it was >>>
