i agree it helps for the author to not have published
early on. (unless one is a keats or a rimbaud. even
our dear rilke was going through the motions until he
was 28. and closer to home, jds didn't allow any
stories until 'bananafish', published at age 29, into
book format.)
the adolescent angst, read later on, is a sure
embarrassment. but i think what also riles the
seasoned author when reading her earlier work, is the
lack of having completed the apprenticeship--of not
yet mastering the craft--and still blundering ahead
with publication.
