No, see, what I'm saying is, I've always thought that my writing, and
JOLT CITY in particular, is purple-y, and thus the opposite of
Hemingway-esque-- and so I was surprised to get the comparision.  But,
you're right-- JOLT CITY does have its share of short-and-choppy
admist all the explosion-as-orgasm metaphors and showy verbal-jumping-
