Maybe so, but I'd put TRP and WSB in different categories on one test: I've
put my entire Burroughs connection into storage, essentially hiding them
from my young daughter.
I suppose this act means that I consider the reading of Pynchon a good
example for her, but not Burroughs.
Matt Groening said in the intro to a book about Robert Crumb: "we used to
hide our comics from our parents, now we hide them from our children."
