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?
