[Quiet Man Cometh]

I think I have to second a lot of what's in Suze's critique. I think I understand what the general intent is, but I have a hard time getting around the facts of it. Mainly, the accident. I've also had a good pile of health problems, and to me the idea of losing legs in a car accident isn't enough to merit such a sad approach to life. I get the feeling that there is or should be something else going on.

I think it's hard for me to be too emotional about this because it reminds me of when I was younger and ill, spending a lot of time and bed and also writing, but I'm still here, still writing, have had stuff published like I wanted to... I just don't see why Marylin should be so wrapped up with lost dreams.
