Letters written by Robert Heinlein published posthumously (as was his wish).

for the Heinlein Fan...
"Grumbles from the Grave" is not a story. It does, however, give you a glimpse of the relationship between author, editor, and publisher through excerpts from personal correspondence. It also gives you a glimpse of the personal makeup and character of Robert Anson Heinlein. The book is edited by his widow Virginia Heinlein.
This is the sort of book that is entertaining for a Robert A. Heinlein fan who has read all or most of his work. It has little literary merit as a story, but is packed with information for the serious fan.
