“After reading your ‘Barney and Joan’ I am – what am I? Is that me, is this the gleam of recognition finally surfacing, is this writing of yours so decisively transcendental (whatever that means), so transforming me to myself, that I mistake it for greatness? I do not know. But the floods of emotion that it ignited in me are all pouring to that waiting empty lonely beautiful center. For me that one color is no longer missing. You sent me home. You can go there again. Now I know. And Joan is there, for herself, the true home she never knew. Forget me, what you have discovered about her obliterates all the pedantic nonsenses spelled out about her up till now. May the next people to discover her do so following the lines of your vision. It pleases me that you use Nicolas Calas as an important basing point – somehow I recognized his intuitive strength, half buried as it was. And then you go far beyond him. For me, you brought back from my own gut-feelings which I thought were long gone.

“What do I do now – on my own? You leave me feeling both emptied and filled, exhilarated and depressed to the highest and lowest peaks and valleys, simultaneously. My teacher, Alfred Adler, at Parker School in Chicago and my most important teacher amongst many, warned me about a danger which you have so beautifully brought into view. He said that I would have to put up with the unblockable surges in myself – tremendous highs of happiness followed by the lows of depression. He said that I should look upon that state of being as a great and wonderful gift, one which few others would have. Well, your essay drove me into one of my ‘seizures’ such as I have not had for years. Alfred was right and I am lucky and you have brought that all back to me tonight. God bless you.”

“Barney [Rosset] [12:45 A.M., 4/27/01]

“(I showed this to Astrid just now and asked her if I should send it. And she said yes, right away, I understand perfectly why it makes you feel as you do – and spell Richard’s name right. I had somehow slipped a t between the i and the c.)”

Also, submitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in pursuit of a doctoral degree in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in New York in 1977, where I was accepted, but without financial aid. Without the aid, I was unable to enroll.  Instead, I attended classes at Columbia for a while, and then enrolled at City University of New York, where I completed all my course work, except for the Latin exam and the dissertation. I believe I took a required comprehensive written exam at the end of my course work, and did so while extremely intoxicated, writing absurd, fictitious answers, an exam which I believe I failed, and after which I concluded I no longer wanted (and never really did want) to pursue an academic career. I believe I was under extreme duress at the time (Winter 1977).
