The Embattled Keith Strikes Back!

I said (among other things):

I say:
I guess he's been practicing

The more serious reply: Yes, sex, eros, carnal knowledge, all play a part
in trp's fiction - But only a part - The work would not have the resonance
and value it obviously does if it were only about one thing - My original
point was that to reduce trp's work to some cosmic drug flashback is just
plain dumb - To clairify things: I don't have anything against sex in
fiction - One of my favorite novels is A SPORT AND A PASTTIME
