let me give you an example. it's funny you bringing this up because just last night, my daughter and her husband were here and i started telling them about the novels of louis—ferdinand celine, the french writer best known for the two novels that he wrote in the 1930s — journey to the end of the night and death on the instalment plan — which i think are two of the greatest novels of the 20th century — extraordinary, energetic, brilliant novels. celine was a horrible anti—semite fascist and he wrote anti—semitic tracts leading up to world war ii. and that doesn't matter in appreciating his art? those books? no, it doesn't really, because these books are great. and that would apply to some of the modern—day discussions about everybody from philip roth to woody allen to roman polanski — whom you've argued for? listen, it's — it's — it's — um — how shall i put it?
