Traven (not Craven) - a pseudonym, I was never able to find out much about the man - wrote a number of exceedingly good novels, albeit from a socialist perspective which rendered them unpopular among some critics. I have never understood why he didn't have more of a following. He wrote very well, and his work had a stamp of personal experience that is seldom found. He wrote a novel from a seaman's perspective that was comparable to Conrad at his best. I haven't thought of him in years, I suppose I shall have to search the web now. I wouldn't mind having some of those books, and seeing if they make the same impression on me now that they did in my early 20s. Henry Miller knew the English language as well as anyone in a age of very serious stylists, and could hardly be invoked to prove that technical skill is not essential to greatness.
