    Don’t ever get me started on the greatness of Joe Campbell. His importance goes beyond the vague trendy _Star Wars_ references. He should at least be ranked with Carl Jung, including the fact that he had serious flaws.

    It was Campbell who turned me on to Joyce.

    I very much agree with you, Ash.
