i made several attempts, all ill-timed

speaking of mccarthy: i tried watching "the road" but meh. then again a movie is not a book. but mccarthy is hard to read for me

lately, heretically, i hav been wondering if the individual author might not have been superseded by writing teams. this seems strange for me to say but since litersture migrated to television i find television more interesting than books. the true polyphonic novel i think requires a writer's orchestra

for real though. when one writer writes for one character and another writer writes for another character... this is a historic development in literature, #sorrynotsorry
