Uh, sorry?

Although my reviews are all first draft and I write them in one sitting, I DO need to sit down and concentrate a lot. As to the Mann, the discussion took place in a realm that I did not want to participate in, methodologically, since Syb used the biography as a central source and it was a weirdly biased bio, too, and since I finished my M.A. at the time I did not have the energy to take part in what could have turned out to be a tedious methodological discussion with Syb so I kinda tuned it out. Sorry. But you folks got along very well, no?

In General, when I write more, it#s when I write these kinds of rants. The Fictional Woods -> Harold Bloom

I'm sure there are quite a few around this board, as well.



As to the book, I really really enjoyed it every bit of the way. The first two thirds I was enticed by the hints as to things like repressed sexualities etc, with every other line of dialogue charged with innuendos and stuff, so that really drew me in.
