Well, yes, of course, similarities are interesting and important. The initial ‘sort-of’ just said ‘sort-of,’ nothing else really to respond to, and no way to enter the conversation except to say yea or nay.

All good readers recognize patterns, allusions, riffs, simultaneity, originality, simulacra, etc., as do good writers.

What’s really great is that writers are being profiled in such interesting and compelling ways.

It is great that writers and writing are celebrated so fully and enthusiastically.

I think it matters that one looks like the other. When we are reminded of something by some-other-thing it is not uncommon, or impolite, to say “this looks sort-of like that.” It is, by my sense of the phrase, equivalent to saying, “I have been reminded of something I know of by this other thing that’s new to me.” Which came first is another matter that matters too in that it doesn’t matter oh so much. One of the trailers for 60/60 exposes the feelings of “urgency” the filmmakers had as they were planning the film. “This sort-of looks like” can be a difficult thing to hear. Yes. Maybe nobody wants to hear that. Not everyone wants someone to whisper in their ear: “Mr. Sensitive, Mr. Sensitive, Mr. Sensitive.” But some do.

And at least in Western Mass–a watcher–Sam Lipsyte Thursday (8 pm, Memorial Hall, UMass), Seth Landman a week from Monday (14th, Rendezvous, Turners Falls, 7 pm), Shane Jones (Mike Young?), etc.
