I don't agree that fame and anonymity are opposed to each other. Most famous writer´s names are just ´handles´ invented for some measure of anonymity.

Most? That is utterly untrue. I bet you'd be hard pressed to name any.

Besides, if you write under a pseudonym, and participate publicly under that pseudonym, you are no longer anonymous.


You probably think it is utterly untrue because you don't even realise that such well known names like Mark Twain, are, in fact, just handles.
