I'm replying to say that I liked your last line above. But as for your characterizations of two of the writers here, I think you may be off the mark. For the first, I'm surprised after your mention of Joyce and Dickens that you assume that the "age level" employed by a writer reflects his own. My experience is that many writers "write to" the emotional age of their readers. As for the other writer you characterized as a reform school mail censor, I think that's unfair and demean- ing; reform schools have much higher standards than that for their personnel.
