or maybe I'm the only one who doesn't think Greene is a minor writer...

JB:  "There's a notion that we writers are interested in the world; that we
like the peculiarities of people and collecting characters," he said. "That
may be the case with second rate artists, but true artists are only
interested in what's going on in their head."

regardless of the verity of this, how pompous a statement could one ask for?

Nauseating.
