Which Dead Writer Would You Most Like To Meet?

If that's your idea of grace and patience, you must have been born on another planet.

95% of the things you say everywhere on A2K is negative and condescending. Like your crap doesn't stink, and you can barely stand to be of the same species.

You don't intimidate me.

If you don't like what I say, tough.

so apparantly what you type here is a result of automatic writing from the spirit realm....

have you ever actually LOOKED at the stuff you write?

or are you truly convinced you're actually pleasant?

good night nurse.

Joyce and his daughter: I read an article in the NYTimes Book Review, about a book about his daughter, and in this review mention was made of an alleged incestous relationship between Joyce and his daughter, or between his son and his daughter.

I read the same review. The author of the book under review pushed for the idea that Lucia was a big influence on her father's writing. I also recall reading that her parents weren't happy about her being a modern dancer.

As for incest, I guess you can speculate all you want. It's a nasty charge, though, to mention lightly.

Why did the author of this review make the charge?

Yes--and I recently reread it online. There's one sentence in which the reviewer says that the author of the book hints at brother-sister incest. Nothing about father-daughter...
