actually when i read the blurb i had the thought that it could be
better...
...but after reading numerous criticisms (and doubts regarding both the
authorship and authenticity) of the blurb i got depressed
and with the sonia kovalesky angle in mind i remember reading that
genius mathematicians are only productive up to 25
so my question to you is: can a guy of nearly 70 still create a work of
genius (rather than just a very very good novel)?
and as Rcfchess at aol.com points out, can such a thing even be imagined?
