But my point still stands. It's what's on the page that counts, not how it got there.

*************** I am one hundred percent behind this, but there are more than a few readers who think the writer's intentions matter and that they can be derived not just from the text, but also from the writer's life. I say leave the writer's life out of it. The text and only the text. The author is dead, and all that good stuff.
