Estase is currently reading On Writing Well by William Zinsser. It strikes me that even an English professor, writing about good writing, finds it impossible to disentangle content from quality of writing. Zinsser actually says that Mario Cuomo was more eloquent than Ronald Reagan! He actually thinks hippie burnout Gary Trudeau is funny! It's really hard to take such a person seriously as an authority on good writing. Estase just hopes to use the Twelve Step saying, "Take what you want and leave the rest."
Looking at the stats page of my blog, it seems that Mother Russia is hanging on every word. I'm not sure why topics like Killinois' sci-fi Bruce Rauner are interesting to Vlad Putin, or why our slavic friends would like Q.E.D., when its most popular post of all time is Kant's Dictum. No accounting for taste.
