I haven't read Meyer's book. I looked at the Truitt pages on Google--glad to see I wasn't winging it too much in my assessment of her. I told that commenter I wanted to stop but may go back and add a comment about the Truitt-Morris encounter. I think it completely backs up what I was saying. I thought I had the critical conventional wisdom on Truitt (that she was sentimentalizing a style of work that got tougher throughout the '60s) but that dogged commenter was making it sound like I my view was "way out there" or something. A lot of my reading was just based on looking at the work (or not wanting to look at the work) and not anecdotes such as Meyer supplies.
