Sounds about right? What's your point?

If you're trying to extrapolate his age from the publishing, someone below corrected me. He was 27 when he wrote it. A few years between writing and publishing the first edition lines up.

You said 24. That sounded very young. So I looked. No point beyond that. T’wasn’t an attack.

You posted something inaccurate and chasing offered a correction. Instead of e-pretending to miss the point, accept the correction as you did with ramblerman.
