The comparison to Hemingway is interesting but none-the-less educated
speculation.


Not all that educated, really. But, I suspect that if he was the writer
that many here suppose him to have been, he would also have been bright
enough that the suggested parallel wouldn't have been lost on him.


I think it's pretty damn funny when a pipsqueak like you is contemptuous
of a towering literary figure like Hemingway.


i am puzzled by your assessment that wolfgang, by filing that post, is
being contemptuous of papa.

Maybe after you're dead
and buried people will win prizes by imitating your writing style, but I
doubt it.


so do i; and, importantly, in view of your attitude, i doubt wolfgang
will give a damn. that is, if wolfgang will know. which, again, i doubt.
of course, that is an entirely different issue.




Who would want to read it?

well, everything is relative. for instance, if there is a competition
concerning how many folks would like to read wolfgang's stuff and , well,
yours, i would pick wolfgang's. but that's just my opinion. and that
opinion would have nothing to do with who i think is the better guy, or
the more fun guy, or who i think gets more pussy, to really get into
important matters.
see, i think everything resolves itself into this thing about peeling
the onion, and it can become *really* bizarre, if one is honest about what
one finds beneath each leaf. wolfgang's style makes for a very big onion,
and requires some patience in peeling. still, much can be gained in the
performance of that duty.
