A promise is a promise, so I'll make a promise and try to writ 'bout Markus Twainus. But can you tell me somethin' ifn you know? I axe this 'cose you hev all bin discussin' 'bout Turgenev and Conrad. Whar has style gone since ol' Hem was around? I done read thet Raymond Carter wuz his descendant and that thar wuz another school of writers after Raymond Carter, but I know nothin' about them. Maybe kwt knows 'bout this. I done seen a program said ol' Uylsseus S. Grant was a heck of a writer, as good as he was a general. Anybody red his memoirs? He wrote about th' same time as Markus Twainus. Also, anybody think Michael Herr who rote "Dispatches" is a descendant of Ernest Miller Hemingstein? Hal
: : kwt, : : I was forced t' go to a bigger shunary to find "cetology" and never did find "taurinology" but I imagine it to be "study or subject of taurus the bull". Cetology is about whales, as in a whale of a story. Interesting point you make, Hemingstein gets idea about whales frem Mobus us an' applies concept t' toros. : : To Sue, whet I ment about Hemingstein flattening his prose per Mark Twain wuz thet Twain write more expansively, not wif a log of little details an' lot a li'l emotions. Not picky picky picky. I'll see if'n I can get a exemple fer ya. Hal
: : : there are similarities between DITA and M-D as : : : I noted: discussions of eh'S taurinology vs. hm's cetology;addressing the reader directly, etc. : : : I can also see Fielding -- i.w. the picaresque : : : Tom Jones vs. TSAR. : : : Whatever. He also liked Issak Dinneson. I would : : : imagine he read everyone -- after all, after he : : : got famous, he got all the books free from Scribners. : : : I just wondered if he had mentioned Melville by name. : : : I know he mentioned Turgenev as likeing his work, : : : but never patterened his after it; like he : : : did with Cezzane.
