Blitzkreig

................In truly good writing no matter how many times you read it, you do not know how it is done. This is because there is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dis-sect out.It continues and is always valid.
each time you re-read you see or learn something new.


1952; Hemingway letter to Harvey Breit.


He could have been describing,
                  Craig
                            mc
                                 Donald.
Who single handily, ended the whole debate on 
Mystery vs. Literature.
By writing.

  2. I came to Craig McDonald's work via your own, Mr. B. I owe you, as well as Craig, a debt of gratitude for the great pleasure I derive from his work. As well as your own, of course.

  3. Looked up a review of Head Games and it sounds like my kind of book. Order will go in at the local bookshop at the weekend and hopefully it'll arrive with a fair wind behind it.
