In The Bible, God destroyed the Tower of Babel because of His fear that the human race had been getting too close to heaven since it had begun communicating with a single language. <BR/><BR/>Bukowski has a poem called "so you want to be a writer?" in which he claims that only some of us will be able to communicate honestly: If we're frustrated before we even begin to write, he says, we shouldn't start.
