You're right, of course. Then again, I didn't claim that he did. I only listed a few specific similarities that jumped out at me. My original question actually was about the contemporary critical reaction, but perhaps no one knows?
Anyway, I enjoyed "The Red Thumb Mark" and am proceeding with the next one. Thanks again for your work!
