We shoiuld not underestimate the obvious influences here; the American
cannon: as Monroe pointed out, P read Poe's short stories and Poe's
only novel. These are important to his early works. Hemingway rain
that brings not birth or spring or new life but only death, Eliot's
yellow fingers, yellow shades, yellow fog..wasteland and Fitzgerald's
valley of ashes, and if we read Europeans, it is not Joyce or even
Dickens, not Fielding or Cervantes for the Picaro, but Conrad.
