Does anyone notice a parallel to real-life here? In relationships?
The boyfriend says to his girlfriend: Hey, I've done this and that for you
(bought you roses, showed you the way out of your difficult family problems,
introduced you to literature and art, WHATEVER!) and now you won't do this
thing for me (meet my friends and parents, have sex with me every night)
Does the girlfriend have to do that? Or has the boyfriend gained rights by
doing all that for her? Has the public gained a right to occassional comments
by JDS because they buy his books?
So, if i go on with this line of thought, if JDS didn't want this attention, shouldn't he
forbid further sale of his books? And maybe that is the reason he doesn't want to
re-publish the underpublished. Because by doing that he feels he creates an obligation to
the public??

Ps hey, i know curiouser ain't a word.
