Asked Wednesday about the effect of the oil-for-food scandal on the world body's reputation, the secretary general rose immediately to the defense of his son. Kojo 3renan worked in the mid-90s for Cotecna, a Swiss- based company chosen to monitor what Iraq was importing under the humanitarian program.
Speaking at a news conference, Mr. Annan said there is nothing to the accusations that his son somehow benefited illegally from oil-for-food contracts. "He joined the company even before I became secretary general, as a 22-year old, as a trainee in Geneva and then he was assigned to work for them in West Africa, mainly in Nigeria and Ghana," he said. "Neither he nor I had anything to do with contracts for Cotecna. That was done in strict accordance with U. N. rules and financial regulations."

The two modern writers whose influence on young novelists has been most pervasive are probably James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. There is no telling how many young writers have gone astray trying to emulate Joyce's complexity of language and Hemingway's misleading simplicity.
I was reminded of that as I read Nicholas Delblanco’s Fathering, an often exasperating novel, because it is so needlessly obscure and reveals so much talent and so little disciplining of that talent.
The internal maundering of Delblanco's characters would probably interest a psychoanalyst, trained to decipher their significance as sign posts, But novelists should not write for the edification of psychoanalysts. Ostensibly reproducing the unorganized thoughts, memories and impressions flowing through a character's mind is not often the best way to make that character comprehensible.
Such thoughts, memories and impressions become chaotic. The job of the artist is to bring some order and meaning out of that chaos, not to compound it, and to clarify, not befog, the nature of the character.
According to the passage, what do many young novelists try to do?
A. They try to imitate Joyce's symbolism.
B. They try to influence Delblanco
C. They try to follow the example of Hemingway's simple plot.
D. They try pattern themselves after Joyce's complicated language.
