Conversely, it might be put that Tom Wolfe is not to be confused
with his overrated and overwritten namesake, Thomas Wolfe.

I'm not sure I'd say that, though.  But I'm not sure I wouldn't
either.  Thomas Wolfe's books are overwrought and overwritten to
the point of pain.  But he is a great writer, I must to my dismay
confess - certainly of higher stature than Tom Wolfe.  I retract
my remark.  What am I doing, anyway?  Who invited me here?  Where
am I?  What's going on?  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaaarrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
