ello,
actually it does bother me what the lives of my favourite authors are
like. if i was to find out that a loved writer of mine had done
something exceedingly amoral then i wouldn't be a part of a list like
this for them. particularly if their lives stood in such a direct
opposition to their books. i mean hypocrisy would come into it to
such an extent that it would undermine everything they had written.
saying one thing and doing another is something most of us are
guilty of but writing and <italic>publishing </italic>one thing in opposition to
practice (digging into the ethos of a life here)? that would bother me
. . .
and hello to lynda. just move bloomberg out of the way and take
the comfortable chair . . .
ta ta,
craig
