Who is Adolph Knipe from Collected Stories and what is their importance? Collected-Stories English & Literature Adolph Knipe | Collected Stories

Adolph Knipe is a computer nerd and an inventor who has a secret desire to become a writer. After many failed attempts to sell a magazine story, he invents a machine that can write stories on demand tailored to each magazine. Using fictitious names, he floods magazines with the computer-written stories and they sell like hotcakes. He offers large sums of money to established writers in exchange for using their names on his stories. Knipe corners the market in fiction writing and the narrator, a struggling writer who has been approached by Knipe, asks at the end for the integrity to starve his children—if need be—to succeed by his own talents and efforts.
