Anybody familiar or unfamilar with Conrad’s work benefits from this review. Flowers manages to capture what I’ve always appreciated about CA’s work–unrelenting honesty and love. Excellent treatment.

Hi Doug,
In this instance, yes, at least in theory: I meant as a comment (of sorts) on how such work has traditionally been rejected & diminished by those who tend to follow templates & go along with groupthink/the herd. But you’re correct that that isn’t evident in what I wrote, I think I left an Achilles Heel in my final draft (doh) :-O

Inimical? Is that how it’s used?
