(Yes, 'who cares' I know, but anyway...)<BR/><BR/>The nearest are journals, such as Thoreau's (whose journals were the polished product of several drafts). Certainly more like Thoreau (based on concrete incident and experience - drawing out the general) than Emerson (abstract, general from the start). <BR/><BR/>But the narrative fragments and dialogues?... hmmm, that doesn't fit.<BR/><BR/>Is it a coincidence that SC writes from New England? I don't think so.Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-71627046339483986962008-07-07T22:19:00.000-04:002008-07-07T22:19:00.000-04:00I don't have much to do as yet on my extended visi...I don't have much to do as yet on my extended visit over here...idle hands!Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.com
