 In October 1946, Boder returned to the U.S. and began transcribing the interviews and working on a book manuscript, supported by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health.In 1949, a collection of eight transcribed interviews and Boder's analysis was published under the title "I Did Not Interview the Dead", though this book sold poorly and went out of print.Boder would continue to work on transcribing the interviews until 1956, when his funding from the National Institute of Mental Health ran out.
