Thank-you, hidari. I appreciate and have noted your opinion, and its somewhat contrariness to Dr. Drib's. Obviously I need to go looking for more opinions, to see whether it's my kind of book.

YES Wallace was interesting... but a bit a Legend in his own lunchtime. Yes, he killed himself. Yet,,, I find it weak on his part...he had far from a difficult life.
Plus. there are many a good writer out there.
C. M. Coetze for example....................

I am unfamiliar with C.M. Coetze.
I know a J.M Coetzee (well, being Australian, I would
), and, though I have not as yet read any of his books, he is most assuredly on the list. One of the strongest recommendations I received was in reading Raimond Gaita's
The Philosopher's Dog (which reminds me, I need to read the latter's
Romulus, My Father).
Cheers,
