Page "Isaac Asimov short stories bibliography" Paragraph 13

These stories were all thought lost after being rejected, early in Asimov's career.

( Asimov himself said that after this, all the short stories which he wrote were kept, even if they were rejected.

) However, a copy of his story Big Game was later found among his papers at Boston University, and subsequently published in the anthology Before the Golden Age ( 1974 ).

Also, after a number of rejections, his story The Weapon had actually been accepted and published under a pseudonym in 1942.

At the time he compiled this list of lost stories, he had forgotten its publication.

He discovered this while writing the first volume of his autobiography, In Memory Yet Green ( 1979 ), and reprinted the story in Section 30 of that book.
