American
General Context
Marvin seems to have speculated that Sam Dogin was pseudonym for d. a. levy, which created some conflicting information. According to Kent Taylor, one of levy's co-authors, "Dogin owned The Book Spot on Cleveland's east side and briefly hired levy. Once again Marvin stumbles because he insists on reading more into simple facts Marvin made similar errors again and again and the ones i have encountered have been by pure chance." (see a Synapse Internation essay authored by Karl Kempton, https://synaptry.blogspot.com/2021/12/synapse-essay-eleventh-cleveland.html).
