tim rogers novel essential elements: 1) sex 2) harassed by cops or authority figures for being a smartass 3) images he's obsessed with like "world where all escalators have stopped" or the magpies

You posted this around the same time I got back into reading/listening/watching tim again. This is embarrassing to admit, but as I was skimming through people's thoughts about his life (yes, reading the impressions of outsiders about an outsider) I had the thought: "oh, this is kind of like saddleblasters". I almost feel like I owe you an apology... anyways, I enjoyed

very much reading both you and Balckwell's thoughts on writing. Writing about writing is always a finicky thing. Thank you for sharing.

regarding tim, our perspectives are perhaps kind of strange because we were both obsessed with him wayyy back (i was 16 i think when i first started reading his work) and then have turned pretty sour on him (at least in my case), as often happens with people you idolize during such formative years... I didn't really want to get into all that in the letters though
