He's really great. Once I get this Hofstadter piece out of the way I'm hoping to write an Ode to Davis.

Yes, just reading it now and filling the marginalia with obscenities.

It's a good book in many ways. I just wish the estate had allowed Brown to quote Hofstadter's letters (which from snippets I've seen are real doozies).

Like a said, a good book. A little too inclined to take Hofstadter on his own terms, but there's enough material there for a real critique.
