Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct. ![]() His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation.

His series, co-created by Larry David, prides itself on being about “nothing.” Zero concept, zero content. As in: “D’ja ever notice how one sock droops before the other one does? Why is that?” Here is a man who could do ten minutes on lint. Seinfeld has always been one of those sedate, drip-dry doodlers, the type known in the trade as an “observational” comic-a D’ja-ever-notice? guy. Unlike such Jewish bad-boy bathroom-graffiti artists as Lenny Bruce, Andrew “Dice” Clay, and Howard Stern, he doesn’t hurl hot gobs of shock material at the audience. Seinfeld himself is a walking diagram of minor quirks. “Right now cute Jewish is ‘in,’ ” Tom Snyder commented one night on his CNBC talk show, to explain the popularity of “Seinfeld.” The NBC sitcom, which stars the standup comedian Jerry Seinfeld, does make little cricket noises. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His minions, three timid squirrels, urge Sam to placate him, but she realizes she must look elsewhere to find courage to resist.
