> a writer's financial situation does not make art immortal.

That was not the point of the article. The point was that the narrowness of circumstance - living between riches and poverty and what type of person can handle that (not to mention the unique problems that might come up with that) - requires someone that can balance that sort of situation.

Because that's a manifestation of the struggle, not the struggle itself.

		Like most literary analysis, GP's remarks ("narrowness of circumstance") are bullshit. The title "What Made His Work Immortal" was completely off-topic.
