Due to summer and lack of computer access, I don’t know to what you’re
referring, but it sounds as someone gave you a hard time for loving
Shakespeare. Pathetic love, even. I give you my vote, though. And surely
loving Shakespeare alone doesn’t make you into a section man. It doesn’t
make you alone, either :-)
Anyway, that wasn’t the subject here, L Cohen was. And what a subject he is.
If you haven’t already, do read his early novel “Beautiful Losers”. Coming
to think of it, I’m not sure about the “early” part, since I think he’s over
30 when writing it (and I think he was debuting at quite a young age). It’s
more the tone of the novel, which is literally bursting with sperm and
Angst.
Read it, folks, it is beautiful in its dirty sense.
