Sometimes he claimed he by no means learn James Joyce's Ulysses or had by no means heard of Thomas Mann--writers he could in other places claim as "the nice males in my time." occasionally he expressed annoyance at readers who came upon esoteric conception in his fiction, while all he sought after them to discover was once Faulkner: "I have by no means learn [Freud]. Neither did Shakespeare. I doubt if Melville did both, and i am yes Moby-Dick didn't."
