(I've never re-read it, however, although I did recently buy the Kindle edition.)<br /><br />Some years later, though, I came across something MH had written for the <em>National Review</em> or some similar outlet. It might've been in connection with 9/11 and/or Iraq, can't remember for sure. But it was shockingly, hideously uncharitable -- illiberal in the worst sense. I was so disappointed I never read anything else he'd written.<br /><br />But this was a lovely writeup of your encounter with him. I probably should just stop nurturing philosophical grudges (a practice illiberal in its own regard).JEShttp://johnesimpson.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-31552160851067418642013-11-08T07:23:19.818-07:002013-11-08T07:23:19.818-07:00I love meeting authors.

Being able to describe emotions in words in just something I'm not that good at. So I admire anyone that can convey feelings, a scene or action with their writing. <br /><br />Have a great weekend. <br /><br />Megan xxx<br /><br />MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
