"He wrote all his adult life and stuck with it" was the essence of the Beat Generation ethos.I think I have learned a bit of your standards. Having read some of you/yours, I like your style and find it what I would call Imminently Readable. Thank you for the kind complement, too, about my abilities.

I think that Hank wanted to have low expectations, live like a pig and to get away with it. The Crushed Man thing is simply rationalization and justification for his pigletishness - I won't even give it status as full-blown piggishness. Besides, I may be insulting pigs. What I appreciate about him is that he wrote all his adult life and stuck with it. He may have taken poor care of his old car dreams, but he drove them regularly and at least changed the oil sometimes. He didn't leave them sit to rust.

My son carries one at all times and next to his bed.
Like a cop, he doesn't want to compromise his FFL by hurried recourse to a firearm.
The libbypoos behind their privsec walls will never get that real serious ammosexuals are the most disciplined folk around. The clearest thinkers.
And how do Americans really feel about young Mangione's turn with The Ghost of Xmas Future or, The Feast of the False Messiah?
About writing, a lifelong career was false. For me.
