Incidentally, I have no problems with my colleagues
Ethel da Costa, Margaret Mascarenhas and even Cecil
Pinto. It's just that there's another side of the
story waiting to be told, and, at times like these,
someone needs to put on record the good side.....FN

Confusing comment or just plain confusao, is it?
Jealousy � especially the mean-spirited resentment of
another�s success � is a sordid, destructive emotion.
Consequently people have often sought to recast their
jealousy as rivalry, which is perhaps a more palatable
analysis. A solitary, creative activity such as
literature should not be well-suited to the concept,
but there�s no doubt that authors can be insanely
competitive: Will Self has described us as �some of
the most point-scoring, fantasy-league-making,
standing-on-each-other�s-shoulders people you could
ever care to meet�.
But this distinction between jealousy and rivalry is
ultimately no more than semantic sophistry. The two
emotions co-exist in insidious symbiosis, each feeding
off the other, fattening each other up. It�s the same
needling desire to be better, the sour resentment of
another. Rivalry is just jealousy skulking behind the
fa�ade of healthy competition.
