Jones did provide one of the year's most memorable characters.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-48097530946341393752016-04-08T17:52:51.345-06:002016-04-08T17:52:51.345-06:00A very interesting exchange, Bill.

It is really interesting how the fiction and real-life characters resemble each other, isn't it? As has been made quite clear, they are <strong>not</strong> the same, but it's hard to miss the resemblance. I also thought your question about libel was really interesting. It's something that all authors face, I think, at one time or another. Disclaimer or no disclaimer, it's important to think about that. Oh, and I really liked that description of Alaska as 'America's largest small town.' Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
