I’m not a skilled or motivated enough researcher to know who his Signal
Corps friend was -
Anybody know?
Mistake #1: make it literary
Vis a vis “The Small Rain” - that’s upcoming
“the main character’s problem was interesting enough to generate a story on
its own”
without all the literary references.
Well, I’m glad he didn’t then decide to do without them completely.
Mistake #2: bad ear
Also “The Small Rain”; language is fluid - a generic military accent is an
interesting concept, isn’t it?
