What a shame, thought Fielding, that a mind so perceptive of beauty had no talent for creation. --- John le Carré from A Murder of Quality (1962)
I am -- a god, a child, a 'grand aveugle,' a muthos: an intrigue, a plot, a story. A myth. How odd to be explicating myself. --- Roger Kuin, writing as Will Archer cum-Eros, from Chamber Music (1998)
The Not-So-Good Doctor is a generally disgruntled and dissheveled sot, a student of letters, a cavalier of sorts, a cavorter, a critic, an inveterate cynic, and an incurable cunning linguist. He can also be alliterative when given the chance.
A motley sort with a mug's face and a matchstick's shape, he's devoted himself to the instruction of English literature and the corruption of young adult minds for the better part of a decade.
Beyond this, he mercifully beggars all description and/or caricature.
