I think I'm coming in on a conversation after a few replies but my view
is that sure it's great to learn more about an author's personal life
but do we really have the right to? I think I could read jd's stuff
just as well not knowing anything from his personal life. Sometimes I
think it makes it even better because then the piece is open to a number
of translations instead of saying oh this happened in his life this must
be what he's trying to get at. Do you understand where I'm coming
from? or am I completely missing what you two were talking about.
