But don't we all?<br /><br />The current bugbear of the critics at the moment is Michel Houellebecq. Those pompous ivory tower critics really slam him. <br /><br />Whilst I consider him to be probably one of the most important writers of our era. <br /><br />I only suggest both he and Nietzsche should have been shot for having names you can never remember how to spell.u.v.ray.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02866397025200956617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-71420494291723219952012-03-03T18:45:14.021-08:002012-03-03T18:45:14.021-08:00Ray, writers are to critics what wood is to termit...Ray, writers are to critics what wood is to termites. Bukowski's taste was unerring. People who conceive him as a sort of savage one-off miss the fact that he learned his art from the best sources. But of course those sources -- Lawrence indeed for one, CĂ©line for another -- were not the sort of thing that could easily be antisepticized and institutionalized to fit conveniently into the academic canons (last year's, this year's, next year's). The anomalous masters are those who have learned from the great anomalies.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-21028112508130306702012-03-03T10:39:03.043-08:002012-03-03T10:39:03.043-08:00"That writer was D H Lawrence.
