Q: You just sent Dan Simon the pamphlet.

A: Yes.

Q: How did you like the book? Nonconformity?

A: I thought it was overedited.

Better to have it than not to have it.

There were two quotes in it I liked.

Mark Twain said only the dead can tell the truth and Maxwell Geismar told Algren, "Congratulations, your book will be among the first to be burned."
