The author of this book was interviewed for a documentary. It’s kind of interesting to watch the author’s relationship to a book he wrote (I believe) in high school as a man of 66 years. Especially since he repeated tried to stop the book from being published, but couldn’t because the sold the copyright with the initial publishing deal.

Had it been a feemw years later when he wrote it, he could have reclaimed the copyright between 35-40 years thereafter, even having sold it. (Note as well as transfer, this applied to all licenses, expressly “notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary”.)
