Downtown Austin
Graceless, Irritating, and Narcissistic
RECEIVED Tue., July 20, 2010
Dear Editor,
I checked in on Harvey Pekar, from time to time, for 30 years or more ["Harvey Pekar and Bob Swain: In Memorium," the Arts, July 16]. Everything I've seen indicated that he was graceless, irritating, and narcissistic; either he married a woman just like him or trained her to be so; and he wrote about subjects in which I have no interest. Much of America doesn't seem to feel that way. More power to them, but I don't get it.
