I finally figured out that Mark Helprin and Mark Helperin are two

different people!

One is the author of A Winter's Tale.

The other is political director at ABC News.

1. One is the author of A Winter's Tale ...

the other is a douchebag. Click my sig link.

2. Mark Helprin's 'A Soldier of the Great War'

is one of my favorites books ever.

3. I didn't know this either.

I remember hearing somewhere along the line the phrase "Mark Helprin is a RW dickhead," and thinking that didn't really jibe with that Winter's Tale book so much.

4. Oh good, I thought I was the only one to make that mistake!

It never made any sense to me, either!

5. Me too.

It has been years since I read that book and I have been wondering how it was possible that Helprin was the same guy. I am glad to know he isn't and glad to know I was not the only one.

I could have wandered about 10 feet and looked at the bookshelf but no, I had to wonder all this time :).

6. Me three. nt
