That was pretty much the gist of what I posted about Twain, i.e. the only current essayist who "compares" is Steyn. I would
never equate the two.
Now if Mark Steyn continues writing till he's in his 70's, publishes a pair of classic stories that are still being read in the year 2250, goes on regular lecture tours to packed houses, and someday has an actor make an entire career of impersonating him, we can talk.

LOL No, we'll both be dead. The only time we can talk is now. For Steyn I'd take two Twains, five Sinclair Lewises, ten F. Scott Fitzgeralds, or one hundred Hemingways.
