V.S Naipaul is a celebrated Trinidadian Indian, but those big
jowls and heavy eyelids remind me a bit of old Kicking Bird (Graham Greene), a
fictional American Indian. "Tatonka."
Here’s beloved chilldren’s author A.A. Milne and Ralph
Fiennes. One gave us Winnie the Pooh, the other gave us Lord Voldemort.
With his low-set, bushy eyebrows and big ears, J.R.R. Tolkien
isn’t a bad match for the Lloyd Bridges of “Hot Shots Part Deux” vintage.
And J.P. Donleavy’s earnest gaze seems to say, “These aren’t
the droids you’re looking for,” doesn’t it? Dead ringer for Alec Guiness.
It took me a long time to think of who T.S. Eliot reminded me
of, but take a look at this side-by-side and tell me you’re not concocting
theories about Rowan Atkinson being his love child.
