I like him much more than Linda Gregg, though the influence wouldn't be hard to account for since I believe that he and Linda Gregg were a couple for a few years until he met Michiko.

There's something about his style that reminds me of Amichai, though the personality and voice that come through each of them were very different. At any rate, the ability to speak so clearly and meticulously, but with unflagging emotion and insight coming through at every turn, is what they have in common.
