1. I know that you don't like the message that postmodern literature is
beyond all ideologies & other logocentric enterprises, but you definitely
seem to know where he spends his Sunday mornings.

2. I don't even see this fact. Facts are just the playthings of lawyers. I
know he's got a protestant father and a catholic mother who, according to
Jules Siegel, was an anti-Semite. But contrary to you I don't draw from that
info that TP was raised an anti-Semite.

3. The most important fact of his biography seems to me that he's got very
puritan forefathers.

4. Agreed, from my pov out of the same reasons.

5. Of course, if you give textual evidences for your assertions.
