Nocturne and Red Light Winter are my favorites of his plays. His novel, The Year of Endless Sorrows, is also really, really wonderful. He's brilliant.
I'm too tired to really tell my left from my right at the moment, but one of the interesting things to me about this legitimacy debate is that... with all of the fake pages that are created on MySpace and Facebook all the time, it shouldn't be surprising that people are skeptical. I mean, being that there are tons of fake ones, it's pretty easy to see why people aren't just going to jump to trust the word of someone who's unwilling to provide backup information. Especially when, intentional or not, it sometimes feels like it's being done in order that those in the know can have something to dangle in others' faces. I was going to say that if you have something you don't want to be forthcoming about, don't be coy with it, but someone could easily call me on my hypocrisy there. However, the stuff I withhold is for personal reasons, pertaining to things separate of information that should -- and honestly, eventually will -- be public. Not telling the detailed version of some story (which a lot of us have done, and I'm not faulting anyone for it) isn't the same as holding back information just because you want to be one of the few who have it. I'm not outwardly accusing anybody of anything, but if I'm going to be honest, that's sort of how some of this comes off.
A work of art is an invitation to love.
