I've read a bit more, and have decided the author falls into the latter category: he does have thoughts to express, but doesn't know how. Reading his prose is like bobbing for apples. You dive into a paragraph hoping to grasp some meaning, but the fluidity of the style contrives to snatch it away from you. Eventually you have to come up for a breather, and then you dip into another paragraph and try again.… (más)
