Re: Seymour an Introduction

    '... I don't know [sic] it kind of strikes me as a personal note

    Isn't that the point? It IS personal. Powerful writing usually
    does, one way or another, convey the voice, the personality
    of the narrator - &, by extension, the writer. And for me at least
    it's the knowingness, the preening, the 'haven't-I-the-most-marvellous-
    verbal-facility' quality of that voice that puts the teeth on edge.

    The potency of an individual mind is best expressed discreetly,
    tacitly - like the near silent swish of the iceberg through the arctic
    seas.
