In Reply to: Gatsby s*cks! Very poorly written... posted by clarkjohnsen on May 01, 2003 at 07:34:05:
Don't matter. As Norman Mailer said somewhere and to this effect: It is surprising how many great novels are poorly written. True of other art forms. Beethoven is often crude and groping, Bruckner even more so. Witness the paintings of Van Gogh, yet I would include his "Road with Cypresses" among the Perfect Works of Art. Here's another:Miles Davis and co.'s KIND OF BLUE. Probably tired of hearing that one mentioned, eh?

***Witness the paintings of Van Gogh, yet I would include his "Road with Cypresses" among the Perfect Works of Art.Hmmmmmmm..... just what's is so "poorly written" about it?
Well, he used a brush ... and oil paint. Ever try to do that when you wanna write a good novel? Hell, I hear he even used his toes. What I meant, of course, with reference to Van Gogh, was that he was a crude draftsman and he rather slashed and gashed at the canvas in a lunatic heat and yet produced a rather delicate effect, a perfect work of art in fact.
