We were made in god's image... and the bears I've looked at today have matched with Jason Priestly much of the time... does that make Brandon Walsh god?
I think some of those jokers were supplied as filler. Christian IX I'm looking in your direction. How on earth could they have excluded Emile Zola from your list.
He was a superstar novelist in late 18th century France and in his spare time a handsome bastard.
If I recall correctly, this is also the writer of the famous letter "J'Accuse" which blew open the Alfred Dreyfus affair (having to do with anti-Semitism in France).
Rather interesting that the journalist in The Dreyfus Affair: A Love Story (about a pair of professional baseball players in love) is named Milt Zola, and writes a column titled "I Accuse...".
Yes indeed. I think he's better remembered for that article than he is for his novels although, from what I understand, the J'acuse letter had such a profound effect because Zola was so prolific and adored as a novelist-- in addition to the lieklyhood, that it was also a very eloquent letter of course.
I've never heard of The Dreyfus Affair novel. Was it any good?
Yes, it was a good read, and not without its humorous moments.
For instance, there's a point where the team manager is saying to Milt Zola of the title character (Randy Dreyfus), "Between you and me, he's got his head up his ass." The narrator goes on to say that while that wasn't a completely accurate description of the activity Randy and his second baseman DJ were engaged in at the moment, it wasn't half bad either.
Amazingly enough, the author, Peter Lefcourt, is straight. Clearly he's done his homework.
