The Silent Auto

[Bonnie Surfus ENG]

This may get me into trouble.  I agree with Donald Murray that "all 
writing is autobiography."

I gain much from reading the SLOW LEARNER intro, as well as when reading 
GR, or "Mortality and Mercy in Vienna," or any other work.

It's not such a big leap to understand that we "know" a writer from 
reading her/his work frequently, especially since, on the most 
simplistic/abstract level, they are writing texts that emerge from their 
own particular cognitive, epistemological and herneneutic orientations, 
which are unique to a writer/individual.

An unpopular position maybe.  Makes sense to me.
