I think each work has to be taken on its own terms, and even then, only in terms of what it does for you.<BR/><BR/>BTW, on your profile you say one of your books is 'The Night Watch.' Is tht the Russian novel about vampires and ghouls and things that go bump? The ones who get the night after a great war between the forces of light and the forces of dark? <BR/><BR/>Just wondering.

Just imagine people in 2132 saying "What a horrible monster that meat-eating, carbon-producing, non-pacifist, political nutcase Amalia was! Shudder! We simply can't teach her legendary poetry in our schools!"Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144417439505262113noreply@blogger.com
