“And still publishes them? Why?”
“He must seek a second opinion, for better or for worse. Besides, he probably thought, you never know, someone might take the bait.”
“Gosh! We’ve not only taken the bait; we’ve fallen right into it face first.”
“Anyway, how do you imagine him to be?”
“It’s strange, but, with every writer, writing and ap-pearance go together hand in hand. One affects, al-most imposes on, the other.”
“It’s almost as though you’re telling me that you would identify him in the same way the victim iden-tifies the perpetrator out of twenty or so ugly mugs at the police precinct, behind a glass screen.”
