Douglas Hofstadter, in Metamagical Themas, writes:
"I have somewhat greater interest in the writings of the little-known American rhetorician, Y. Serm Clacoxia.." and goes on to quote him estensively from "The Illusions of Alacrity."

I've googled Clacoxia and can find nothing except another short quotation. This guy must be *extremely little-known. Anyone heard of him at all?
