I mean, I love Twain and Poe, but still can't help snickering at the put-downs. And Capote's typing crack is priceless!<br /><br />I have to say that my favorite is the one in the comments: Dorothy Parker vs Ayn Rand.

Now, you wouldn't dare criticise another author because their style is different. <br /><br />www.alicekouzmenkowriting.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450748262991587797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043298014678686801.post-25249709709988679722013-09-03T07:52:53.468-04:002013-09-03T07:52:53.468-04:00l0l!
