I’m not sure you even read any of the Jones novels. Not much? You don’t think much of “From Here to Eternity?” Norman Mailer who was a supreme egotist even credited Jones for writing a better WWII novel than his own “The Naked and the Dead.”
Oh well if Norman Mailer liked it...bwahahaha!
Is this the first time anyone has ever disagreed with your literary preferences? You’re taking it kind of hard.
