help name author? [not TRP]

[Christopher Gonzales]

Hi there,,,

A while back, someone posted a message about an author (XXX?) and said
something like "this author writes 1,000 pages of literary pyrotechnics,
and says he always keeps the reader in mind, meanwhile Vonnegut, who writes
thin novels, says he only writes for himself."

I've searched my email and I can't find the original post.  Can someone
tell me what author was being discussed?

Thanks,

Chris
