      XPost: rec.puzzles, alt.usage.english       From: HenHanna@devnull.tb              THERE can be few writers the complexity of whose techniques and variety       of thematic examinations of human behaviour have inspired so many       detailed critical analyses as ........ has attracted in the last half       century.              Apart from the wide areas of familiar moral and social problems which he       embodied in his       narratives, the particular type of sesquippledan verboojuice which he       was inspired to invent enabled him to attract into the area of his       creativity far wider historical, philosophical, imaginative, and       artistic references and implications than can ever be normally expected       of a literary artist.              As a result, the infinity of subjects touched on provides critics and       academic researchers with a corresponding infinity of subjects for       theses, or if not specifically for them, at least for separate contexts       in which to concentrate on an artist whose infinite variety       makes concentration of any value immensely difficult if not virtually       impossible.                     --------- ObPuzzle Is sesquippledan a made-up word?        What does it mean?                      Can this describe 2nd or 3rd novelist?                      the use of the verb [embody] is a bit unusual.                            A bit wordy... I'd easily make it 20% shorter. (without losing anything)                     the particular type of sesquippledan verboojuice which he was inspired       to invent        ---------------->        the uniqoid sesquippledan verboojuice he invented        the spiquant sesquippledan verbojuice he invented              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
