Like all creative geniuses of his era, he painted himself more and more into a corner. By the end, still infinitely better than his younger peers, he was reduced to lampooning only those safe social targets. He could never highlight the mistakes of his own generation.
First published in 1968 (I was 9!), I have been writing professionally part-time for more than two decades. I have been freelancing for various authors, editors and publishers for the past three years on the behind-the-scenes tasks of writing.
