Contrary to popular belief, a cave man is not the basis of simplicity and Sir Isaac Newton shall be reincarnated. Henry lived in our closet for 4 and a half months.

I was not aware that i was disgracing mankind by illustrating on man's fall to alcohol and spousal abuse. I must say, however, that your assumptions are largely false, at least from my experience. You say i must wait until the ravages of age? I must disagree sir. You see, Henry Crumble was loosely based on my own father, who did abuse my mother as well as a number of other poisons, as it was stated in the text. so for you to have a personal vendetta about my allusion to the state of manhood in modern america is, well, nonsense. I hope you enjoyed the story for what it is. It's not a represenation of the repressed masculinity in society, it's simple a tale of concealed evil. My point was this: our own sense of duty to sympathize with a pathetic case like henry may blind us to the truth. If i ever feel like writing a story in which corporate america manipulates the white collar working class (consisting of both men and women of course) then i shall send it to you. Until then, i wish you luck in your cruel and materialistic world...

Glimpses of his bonds with daughter good, but i find the stry of a man descending into, first a wifebeater and then, inevitibly to satisfy his psychological need, a killer - rather distasful towards men as fathers. irrisponsible given the present burdon and harm placed upon fathers. this behaviour you show follows without reason or character ,like the man is a stereotypical father who loses his job. actually, most would even push a broom. but i can see a writer with a need to write, and that might mean a born writer with, ulimately ,someting important or transcendtal to reflect from within your sphere. Chances are you will be much older and knocked by life, maybe then spent though, unless you sincerely spend time relecting sorrowfully, and drop the sterotypes about men and women and look deeper into currents of life particularly the ethos of the times in which those lives grow up - which generally spells selfish, narrow interfering government, schools, planners and scientists. A bad world of matrialistic government. Men aren't beasts as fathers who simply sink into drink, and lash out against silent , good strong women who deserve the children. Men are wonderful as fathers, and have to take crap from the government and now, often misguided women. Men and women in work , though are iresponsible ,power crazy, egoistical, and politicized brown-nosed- irresponsible, doing it for the money, and inflating their sense of worth as teachers or whatever: particulalryl nin the 'social' government sponsered professions. pleasurable enough to read, the way the story moves along. dissapointed with the unsympathtic, unrealistic portrayal of Henry.
