But they were all we doggone had.  I had never heard of Gaddis back in 
my village,  If fact it was so long ago nobody had heard of him yet.

I like Gaddis because he recalls the 50s for me.  Intellectual people  
DID talk like that back then.  They talked about classical music and 
famous poems like the Waste Land and quoted a lot of things.  They were 
imbued with a lot of European culture.   Now it would seem affected but 
it didn't back then.

Ah, Wilderness.
