FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY is a sleek, vigorously engaging author. His works stun our minds...they propel us out of our horrid doldrums. I read his cunning little novel, 'The Gambler' recently. The work has profound overtones. It has the aura of what it is...i.e. a work of genius.

Jean Paul Sartre...The clever Soulnik
SARTRE remains a slick, clever guy oh Lord Yes. When I feel odd I read the meandering but vigorously, terrific existentialism of the wild Frenchman, Jean Paul Sartre. I know that the crafty tome of Sartre's entitled 'Being and Nothingness' is profane and yet a grand think piece on the contemporary human condition. The poignant, mad piece de resistance 'Nausea' is also a bright, engaging and remarkable foray into the insane clever aspects of all us humans' lives. Sartre proves a cunning delight just like the 'cool' Jean Paul Belmondo film way back there in 1959 and a part of that slick ethos of that particular time.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
