The fact is, there really isn’t anything new in the world and what I’ve always hoped to do with writing is to say, in so many words, some of the ideas that lurk, wordlessly, in the minds of a great many people. I write to find out what I am thinking. “ . . . ONLY A MEDIOCRE WRITER IS AT HIS BEST.”
I have tried to follow the advice of my grandfather: “Get the hay down where the horses can eat it.” Yet there came lofty thoughts about an offering that would survive the immediate moment. I drifted in and out of reality. I was determined to come up with something with higher aspirations than before. Maybe it was not too late. I have always had a deep compassion to produce a memorable and valuable book. It seems that I start in that direction, fiercely honest but drift into hilarity. For me it is so natural - it’s just me. I am to blame. I agree with Somerset Maugham: “We do not write as we want to but as we can.” Maybe someday. “JESTERS DO OFTEN PROVE PROPHETS.”
