  Oh that is golden. "The critics said his writing was clumsy, ungrammatical, repetitive and repetitive." Apparently DB isn't an Oxford comma man?

  See my comment here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12314100 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12314100 Also, English is not my native language. In fact I wrote and published the novel in Spanish first (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I1EU1Q0 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I1EU1Q0). I didn't trust my English enough to translate it myself, so I hired a translator to do the job. The result is OK but I have the feeling I could have written it better! FWIW, I'm probably going to write whatever I write next in English.
