How many words in that column? It seemed lengthy for back then. I never met Jon Carrol, probably because I’d stopped drinking, or was gone when he came along. At any rate, you’re correct about Picasso; Nabokov said of him he was “Norman Rockwell’s twin brother stolen by Gypsies at birth.” A fraudster. Good podcast, thanks.

Believe it or not, only 775 words. He told me once he had up to 1100. But I agree, it does seem long. Love the Nabakov quote!
