Unfulfilled predictions, he-he-he

[Ya Sam]

It's not an article but a book. Some 5 years ago I stumbled upon it in a 
library and photocopied a part of it, without even knowing that it had 
several pages devoted to TRP (several pages!!! as if to stress the 
insignificance and transitory quality of his works). It's interesting to 
look at the criticism of the period (1970s) from contemporary perspective 
and realise once again that time is the best judge of  literary merit.
