from Ibrahim Mumayiz

Dear Sid


The overall impression I got from your correspondents expressing their opinions about your letters, I came out with this result that as much as your letters contain elements of literary criticism and literary history and biography, they are basically pieces of emotive creative writing and hence they belong to the realm of literature not to the realm of criticism, studies, history or biography. I could sum up the situation by saying that I agree with Ruby Cohn who said to you in what I read in your blog: "I have never known someone who puts his personality in his letters as you do".

Yours, Ib
