Eric, thanks very much, and no, I did not know that.
In hindsight I should have dropped a couple of the extreme adjectives in
my post in response to Roddy, and will keep that in mind for the future.
I still find it incredible that someone would think it appropriate to
post an evaluative, and rather judgmental, paragraph about a book based
on its first four pages. Doing so violates all that I believe about how
one should respond to books, or films. Others may disagree.
I started appending "Chicago" to my name more than a decade ago, in the
hope that others would follow, because of, for example, frustrating
posts inviting everyone to a screening at "123 Main Street" with no
mention of the city. We all come from different places, and nations, and
I still wish it was easy to tell where everyone was from.
But yes, Bruce wrote purely ad hominem. He does not make an argument.
