Marly was right, there were few gainsayers among the many who inscribed the National Library of Wales visitors book, but two stand out as being real stink-bombs among the violets! I don't mind. I'm intrigued more than offended. It added astringency to the experience. I shall not hunt them down and kill them! <br /><br />(-;Clive Hicks-Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573698513351018726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-55776949798569582772011-11-21T19:27:09.977-05:002011-11-21T19:27:09.977-05:00Clive,

But if your work is grotesque, which I can't understand or see at all, frankly, that puts you in good company... there are plenty of fine artists who have had that word applied to their stuff.Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-2997295434794434522011-11-21T14:22:51.361-05:002011-11-21T14:22:51.361-05:00Paul,

I burst out ..."His work is grotesque"<br />HA!<br />I burst out laughing at that. <br />I'm sorry, but both you, Marly, and Clive are jolly good sports to grin at the Muggles so sweetly!

I have to have a healthy sense of my own worth, and ignore others' views. I am sure that this will be true in spades once the book comes out.Robbi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04881145195435485238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-55009394326492178342011-11-21T09:42:47.447-05:002011-11-21T09:42:47.447-05:00I found it and read it.

I find hers an odd complaint, that too much of the book was what she considered to be exposition, because that's what I would have called story-telling! I think it good that you left a courteous comment, and that she returned it. The sad thing is that her opinion clearly swayed some of those who commented on the post in a way that indicated they'd be guided by her Clive Hicks-Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573698513351018726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-88501328544708159472011-11-21T08:08:02.739-05:002011-11-21T08:08:02.739-05:00Clive,
