"Although Sklenicka exhibits something like awe for Carver the writer, and clearly understands the warping influence alcohol had on his life, she is almost non-judgmental when it comes to Carver the nasty drunk and ungrateful (not to mention sometimes dangerous) husband. She quotes the novelist Diane Smith ("Letters From Yellowstone") as saying, "That was a bad generation of men," and pretty much leaves it at that..."
You tell'em Diane!!!!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Love, Jan & Ran

Thanks, Jan. That pretty much sums it up I think!
This is just been an awesome week for our Paradox family, Tony being invited up at a J.B. concert, and out own Diane being quoted in a New York Times article by no other than Steven King..... Warms my heart.
I couldn't possibly say anything about
Stephen dang King QUOTING DIane because
my comment would be so
tinged with ENVY!!!!
Congratulations Diane!
Hooray.
Thanks everyone.
As I told Helen, every mention adds up for a writer.
Next stop, New York Times Best Seller List and Oprah's Book Club. Before long we'll have to make an appointment with your agent to get some face time. KUDOS Diane!
