an oops
everyones allowed not one but several
he maintained cardboard
boxes and boxes
kept them in storage
someone wanted to get into a pissing
match over who was more deficient he had copious receipts
the oops that prompted him was a quote
from The Killing of the Tinkers Ken
Bruen which when he read it arrested him Hemingway said of Wyndham Lewis “(he) had the eyes of a professional rapist”
he
was agog
one could be a
professional rapist what
was the pay rate he would have been incensed had someone said that of him
so he had to dig
research
“I’ve now come to appreciate
that research is really mesearch.” Rosen The Tao of Jung: The Way to Integrity
integritty
he wasnt sure he agreed
from Hemingways A Moveable Feast
“Under the black hat, when I had first seen them, the eyes had been
those of an unsuccessful rapist.”
so unless Bruen was referring to
the reviewers words he did not quote
them David Trotter published in the
London Review of Books at the conclusion
of Hemingways quote Mr Trotter when on to write “There might presumably have
been some hope for Lewis had his eyes merely been those of a successful rapist.”
successful is a far
cry from professional
successful isnt necessarily better paying than
professional
per se Jack the Ripper
a sexual mutilator prostitutes his canonical victims possibly could have been a rapist although no
evidence was found however the eleven unsolved
Whitechapel murders 3 April 1888 to 13
February 1891 forensics investigations werent
what they are today
this piece went
darker than he saw
sometime in
February, 2024
