"he was given to fits of rage, jewish liberal paranoia, male
chauvinism,
self-righteous misanthropy, and nihilistic moods of
despair. he had
complaints about life, but never any solutions. he
longed to be an
artist but balked at the necessary sacrifices. in his
most private moments,
he spoke of his fear of death which he elevated
to tragic heights,
when, in fact, it was mere narcissism."
