Ouch! It really hurts when such an esteemed critic of 'historyical storys' tells me to shove my beloved flashbacks up my asterisk. :-)

Oops, sorry. I forgot. Anyway, some of us inkstained drudges will probably continue to wallow in the muck at the 'oposit extreem' from your lofty literary standards.
By the way -- As a fan of historyical fiction, did you ever happen to see "Citizen Kane"? Or, if that film failed to meet your cinematic approval, "Titanic"? (not that the latter was well-written, but there was nothing particularly wrong with its structure). I know, I know. All that business about the iceberg was pretty boring, but Kate Winslett was pretty hot posing for her Leonardo, eh?
