well, first off locobot thanks for posting that.
you were fortunate to have taken courses with him, and reading what you've to say was interesting indeed.
i was wondering about this--and lots of folk have said the same thing--that his writing will now come to be read through the suicide and, worse, for it in a way.
but some of it is too good and will outstrip that temptation.
this despite the work of someone like richard ellman on james joyce, which i suppose goes to show that i could be wrong and some creepy academic critic could make a career out of reprocessing all his work through his biography.
well, we can do other things with it or because of it.
