How to Keep the Topic still Buddy-less

I once, during one of the more unpleasant adventures I've undertaken in
this ridiculous field, heard a woman give a paper defending Hemingway's
macho exterior. It came off terribly, and she was drawn and quartered
after the conference.
Anyway, while there may be a whole heap of righteous reasons to wish ill
upon a writer because of his macho exterior (I often wonder whether it
can be arranged for Cormac McCarthy to be slain in a knife fight with
Billy Parham), it might be remembered that for every Hemingway, there is
an Adrianne Rich (and probably a Kathy Acker, too).
