To quote yourself: "More than you ever wanted to know, sliced
out of last September:"
Followed by several paragraphs that Jim managed to sum up in
a sentence, if I recall correctly.
My sense of your opus was that you provided a longer and more
detailed than necessary explanation of post-modernism in
order to express your personal distaste for much of it. Have
I got that wrong?
The subject at the time, I thought, was about whether
post-modernism was a new direction for noir and/or hardboil.
Not that subjects can't change, of course.
As for the pot and the kettle, you may have a point
there.
Best, Kerry
