description: The only interview ever granted by the man generally assumed to have been B Traven, pseudonymous author of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Death Ship and eight Mexican novels. Plus a postscript My Second Thoughts about B. Traven, variously known as Ret Marut, Richard Maurhut, Berick Traven Torsvan and Hal Croves. An unknown Russian sailor adds to the mystery. Second Thoughts was my contribution to an international conference on the author at Penn State University in 1987. It was among the papers published by Pennsylvania State University Press in 1987.
